How much weed did you had?

Consiousness is an illusion.

I think it takes a lot of spiritual/emotional maturity and isn't a sign of senility. I wish you well on this life and whatever may follow,
>>9013922
You could've just told me.
>>9013926
None.

>>9013930
What is experiencing the illusion?

>>9013910
That is a very difficult question. I don't think that we are just a bunch of atoms; there has to be something else that gives rise to life that science hasn't found yet, because there's clearly something different between inanimate matter and living entities.

I don't believe in mystical things like the "soul", but there's something that hasn't been found scientifically yet, in my view

What if science isn't the answer?

>>9013978
Then there's only way to pursue truth. Fuckloads of psilocybin and DMT

"science" is not a subset of phenomena within the universe. It is a method for learning. Anything that exists is the subject of "science".

How would you explain a mechanical machine, when the gears and levers alone do nothing similar to the function of the overall machine?

>How would you explain a mechanical machine, when the gears and levers alone do nothing similar to the function of the overall machine?
I would say that perhaps this machine has elements that we are not aware of

>Why is an atomically identical duplicate of myself not a shared conscious?
There is no way for you to prove that

>We know going to sleep or dying dispels our consciousness
Those are two different things, even a coma is different from sleep, and so is a vegetative state.

The truth is that consciousness, and more broadly neuroscience in general, is something that is very poorly understood.

i dont know what makes you "you" but your pic related can make anyone stop being them fairly quickly
