You make a good point. As for me, its really hard to think of consciousness as real because it's similar to other things I'm forced to observe while previously I used to think I was somewhat in control. So I think thoughts or awar

I'm happy to encounter someone interested in the topic like I am. I'll further expand some of my thoughts in connection to the topic. I'm very interested in your own thoughts on the topic as well. I hope when writing about th

Yes, we would have to send the same signals for a significant interval of time like it was a year ago and to the brain of the subject. Also having all the outside the body external forces aligning similar to the past and for the experiment

I think the two are simply illusions. Humans think of as free will and similar to thinking of having a consciousness in reality is just illusions at play. We can assume consciousness is similar to an outside external force that ends up with

I theorize nothing is truly conscious. Everything reacts from a cause & effect "chain of forces" exerted upon everything in the Universe. I'm curious what we will learn when we can modify the human brain to be exactly the

> I'll not formulate my opinion based on the suffering of 1% of the population. Yet you seem to have an opinion already made against those people. You didn't provide facts as well for any of your comments. :/ We all know t

You seem to have an ego problem if you dismiss the possibility that people are stuck in a suffering life outside their control. Every life is unique with how circumstances are for the person and the order of events that follow. Blaming the

Starving to death is arguably torture depending on the culture you grow up in. I think I've read about Prayopavesa and I'm not sure if lighting yourself on fire is related but methods of that sort are not really acceptable for all

What you're communicating is the blame is on the person suffering if we simplify it. That assumption is not correct and it's arguable based on what ideology you prescribe to. Some people understand determinism and realize people d

I know some persons go on to take their life after suffering depression for majority of their life. I'm unsure if people should take the stance of discriminating one illness compared to another because it may not always be treatable in

I can only do the guessing game with your comment because there are multiple interpretations depending on how a person thinks approaching what you wrote. I think it's untrue people ending their life while wanting to die are always in a

I'm guessing I would be interested in what makes you unsure if the rest of your comment doesn't cover it all. In all seriousness I think we all have a death we're destined to experience. So I sort of approach the topic as an

Maybe I'm naive but I believe cheating can be eliminated by allowing students to have a notecard when taking tests and where they're allowed to write down formulas or whatever is necessary for them individually before the tests. I

Your comment is too vague for me. I assume you're attempting to assert that sleeping while having awareness of being asleep would somehow make you different than a robot? I would challenge that notion if my assumption is correct on wha

Of course we can make an AI be aware of surroundings and able to react. What do most people mean by become conscious? My assertion is a majority of people cannot even prove how they're different than a robot that's programmed to c

I love macOS & iOS. I’ve been happy to be an Apple customer because the support for hardware has been excellent as well. The icing on the cake was the era of belief that Apple had the goal of making consumer products that people could a
