I love philosophy for the fun discussion, but when folks say there is more than Physics to something when we know so little about everything. Yes it could be true, but coming from someone who is already so unskilled in the sciences, they have no real basis to make those claims.
It is like someone making conjectures about the properties of prime numbers while knowing almost no mathematics.
- goatlover 4y agoNo different than claiming everything can be explained by physics. The basic argument against that for consciousness is that you don't get sensation (colors, tastes, feels) from physical properties, because they lack those sensations. Physical meaning our science of how the world works, which is abstract and mathematical, and not the world itself, to avoid metaphysical assumptions/circularity.
- sitkack 4y ago> consciousness is that you don't get sensation (colors, tastes, feels) from physical properties There is no unexplained magic here, are you saying human experience of the world breaks cause and effect? Color is our interpretation of the frequency of light, taste the chemical composition, if by feel you mean touch, our skin can resolve nm scale bumps. To say something is un-explainable is a cop out. Esp for the folks that say, "there has to be more" without showing why is unscientific.
