First you postulate that it's a different matter, then you wonder where is the science that explains it's existence. Ever considered there might be nothing more

First you postulate that it's a different matter, then you wonder where is the science that explains it's existence.
Ever considered there might be nothing more to it than what we already know? This is basically the notion of emergence.
- goatlover 5y agoIs the emergence weak or strong? If it's weak, then subjectivity can be reduced to neurons firing or whatever. What does that look like? If it's strong, then you spooky emergence, which means something entirely new — something not entailed by prior physics coming into existence. That would be non-reductive physicalism, but I'm not sure how it's different than property dualism that David Chalmers would endorse.
