Re: Asifism
Hello, like I said before you are just turning the meaning of consciousness to mean whatever you think you're not. Knowing something implies consciousness, if you're not conscious, you can't know anything.

Re: Asifism
As we said it in Hungary: let the 'bartender' talk into it... * I feel it is a vague metaphor to have 'brain centers stimulated'- HOW? - as persuaded them to do something? There are physiologic activities translated (somewhere, somehow) into mental events and so far we know(?) about electric connections. But wait: before I try to express my ignorance of what (how) to identify as consciousness (even, maybe 'conscious') - Galvani's frog legs were not attached to the braincells and reacted to the 'pain' of the electric shock. That goes back a step from crying 'OUCH' upon an electric shock. So, while I do not deny the role of the 'pain centers', I cannot assign their exclusivity in the process either. My view is complexity of which both brain tissues, functions, mentality and the ambiance of the body (human etc. 'live' beings) is interactively involved - and we are pretty far from understanding HOW and: What else? We are not singularities, not our mind, not our body - which could be envisioned (I didn't even dare say: understood) independently by themselves. Not even in THEIR (separated) interaction. Whatever we find is useful, unless we consider it as ALL of it. * I like Bruno's hint(?) about 'ethics' - I never had a reasonable idea what may work in it, unless I identified it with the 'culture-related' morality. I still question the sole effect of such ethics upon myself,. it would be a very selfish ethics. May it be extended to include pain-centers' stimulus of 3rd persons??? * Torgny wrote: If you are really unconscious or not conscious, you could say this, indeed, but I hardly believe you are unconscious As that arbitrary approach to consciousness goes in my mind (I consider it a historical noumenon applied bt diverse authors to fit their theory) it includes a mental side: awareness and direction of the body, response to information we get. Total 'unconsciousness' is death. In anesthetic one still controls not even the smooth muscles, but reflexes as well and a lot more. Other things may be suspended (as on vacation), e.g. memory. When I woke up after appendectomy I continued tp be angry: I argued angrily FOR being put out instead of a local anesthetics. 'Conscious also has levels, some within full awareness, some (partly?) hidden, yet within the active mentality effects. We use these words as they 'fit' what we want to express (as all others). The yearly Tucsan Int'l. Conferences on 'Consciousness' (I follow them since 1991) still could not agree in definitions. To the question: do you think *we* are conscious? my unsolicited answer is: we can write defkinitions by which yes and ofher definitions by which no and don't forget the intermedietes. * Bruno mixes acting with feeling. Actors 'feel' the paycheck and play - as if. No fMRI involved for the role they simulate by the outside visible. Even 'good actors' go on;y as far as the secondary phenomena of their role-playing are involved. No actor died by the character's heart attack. Only if they had their own - personal, not acted - illness. I was an actor in my last job when the international management made - in my scientific thinking - 'bad' decisions: I complied and had the next paycheck in mind, reminding myself that I don't 'own' the company. Did not 'fire' myself. * I still want to make some appreciative remarks to the asifism, but this one goes to Bruno's post.

I then see a lot of protons reacting with eachother, and I see how they explain my behavior and the words I produce. I see how they cause me saying I am conscious! I have a free will! I am happy!. This is all that is. This explains everything. Assuming materialism it could explain everything describable at the third person. Assuming comp, it cannot even explain neutron, which is most probably a first person plural construct (not a human one, but I guess a lobian one: it is far more general). If you assume eliminativist materialism, then you would be right in case you are indeed a zombie, something which, frankly, I doubt.

The point is that whatever consciousness is, it cannot be epiphenomenal in the philosophical sense of having no physical effects. I'll put it this way: your hands and fingers are physical objects. When they move, that is a physical event. Whatever causes them to move, is also a physical event. When you type the words I am conscious, that is also a physical event. If you think that your consciousness is epiphenomenal, you must believe that your being conscious has nothing whatever to do with your typing the words I am conscious. It's just a coincidence! The same goes for whatever makes you say I am conscious. If you really think consciousness is epiphenomenal, you must endorse something like this: I know I'm conscious (for whatever reason). And, for some totally unrelated reasons having nothing whatever to do with the fact that I'm conscious, I also say that I'm conscious. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Everything List group.
