I know what consciousness "is." I'm experiencing it right now.
- Bridgoo 3y agoProve it
- c22 3y agoNo, it's entirely self-evident. You prove I don't.
- JohnFen 3y agoI would argue that if you can't communicate it to another, then you don't know what it is. You only know what it's like to experience it.
- c22 3y agoI guess it depends on what your definition of is is! To put it another way, either you also have consciousness, in which case I have explained it, or else I can't explain it to you because you don't.
- dekhn 3y agoAh. I use the term "the subjective experience of consciousness". IE, what you are experiencing could really just be a VR drug hallucination, completely unrelated to anything else, or an epiphenomenon of a completely mechanistic universe.
