>In a tornado, there is electricity from lightening as well as water and minerals from the dirt (including biological matter such as cows that it sucks up) - is it possible that the open chaotic system in a tornado can give rise to consciousness as we know it?
This is spectacularly stupid.

if consciousness was made up of what you say it was, it would be rather easy to replicate it, wouldnt it?

>>8972594
I'm convinced

How would killing republicans be good for tornadoes if republicans cause the rising temperature s?

Isn't there a Harlan Ellison story about a whirlwind that becomes sentient? Or is it Bradbury?

Consciousness exists in sign relations. The brain just remembers symbols and their interpreted meaning, then computes them to think, producing a symbolic mind.

Wow, that's sound reasoning- and I can't argue with those facts, either.

What if I'm a Boltzmann brain in a tornado right now?

Somethings in the mind are direct interactions and therefore not symbolic, the symbolic interactions are the communications of the direct interactions to the self perception areas of the neurological system.
