It's always possible we live in 'Delusionville' rather than as conscious, sentient beings. This would explain a lot of problematic nastiness like Tony Blair, Margaret Thatcher and the underperformance of Warrington Rugby League Football Club. However, as Roger Penrose points out, there seems no Earthly reason why evolution should have developed consciousness (assuming it has, as there is a potential chicken and egg here) as much complex happens other than in what we have named consciousness as an emergent property of human brains. Neural density is higher in parts of the brain we don't associate with consciousness as such an emergent property. After all, evolution tends to proceed by killing species off, job presumably done.
So 'why' consciousness? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
