If you break a light bulb do you destroy light itself? No, you just break a light bulb. Similarly, if someone's brain is hurt, it may not affect consciousness

If you break a light bulb do you destroy light itself? No, you just break a light bulb. Similarly, if someone's brain is hurt, it may not affect consciousness, just the person's brain. People have a closed mind about these things and say words like "obvious" etc.. when it may be valuable to think about things differently or from another point of view.

You certainly destroy the process of light creation in that bulb, which is the proper analogy with the consciousness of a single mind. No one is claiming that messing with a single brain affects consciousness itself, only the consciousness of that brain.
- ca98am79 11y agoWhat I propose is that the light bulb doesn't create electricity, in the same way that the brain doesn't create consciousness
