What are /lit/s thoughts on Consciousness? Are you materialists? Dualists? If literature deals with human growth and the eternal and corruptible "soul", does the realization that we're a bunch of nuerons kill anything transcendental you can garner from literature?

any categorial rifts in the perception of concepts tells you not to confront but complement each. as the duality of confront and complement are also a rift in perception.

You should look into William James and his arguments against epiphenomenalism.

Remember: Don't drink the materialist Kool-Aid. Their metaphysic is no more correct by default than any other.

Substance dualism has unresolvable paradoxes.
Denialism only argues against substance dualism.
Panpsychism is the only remaining consistent model of consciousness, but we don't have the technology to reliably test what it claims yet.

I am a meat computer. I have no interest in transcendental meaning, but I read books because they're interesting and I like to know a lot of things.

My desire to know things is purely an emergent property of the physical and chemical configuration of my brain but that doesn't change anything about the way I feel so I don't care.

Going from believing in souls to not believing in souls changed nothing about the way I feel when I do things.
