hey science

[Printer Bandit]

explain consciousness.

 

[sandorski]

Still a work in progress.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

explain consciousness.

Prove that consciousness exists.

 

[IronWing]

explain consciousness.

Define your terms and re-frame your question (demand, really) in a manner amenable to scientific investigation.

 

[SSSnail]

I troll, therefore I am.

Science, bitch!

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

Consciousness is what allows the OP to ask this question.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Consciousness allows the OP to ask this question.

He could be a bot.

 

[TastesLikeChicken]

He could be a bot.

He's not smart enough to be a bot.

 

[IronWing]

In considering differentiating the conscious, the subconscious, and the unconscious which generally yield better results, passive or active crossovers?

 

[Ruptga]

Consciousness is what happens when someone waves at you and you go to greet them as they walk past you to some guy behind you.

 

[zinfamous]

it's a series of biochemical reactions.


understanding the complete cascade of processes involved is a work in progress.

meh.

 

[Ruptga]

Some people think quantum processes may be involved as well (specifically inside nanofilaments inside neurons), but afaik the best evidence so far is that it's an emergent property of a large series or web of biochemical processes, just like life itself is.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

[DEVIL'S ADVOCATE = TRUE]

it's a series of biochemical reactions.

So is the coagulation cascade. Is it conscious?

 

[John Connor]

Science can't explain consciousness because it falls under the realm of religion. I point to exhibit A.

That's why they say God is in all of us.

 

[John Connor]

My best scientific explanation.

A bag of bones and tissue that became self-aware.

"Know thyself and thou shall know all the mysteries of the gods and the universe."

 

[mikeford]

Consciousness is when you are able to do stupid things, that you know are stupid, for a stupid reason. Basically a higher level of behavior than can be explained in simple terms.

 

[disappoint]

explain consciousness.

Science: "Hey Printer Bandit, we know you're not serious, or you'd be at a bookstore looking for books to read on the subject instead of posting troll threads on message boards."

 

[LTC8K6]

explain consciousness.

Stub your bare big toe on a concrete curb.

When the pain hits, that is consciousness.

 

[SphinxnihpS]

it's a series of biochemical reactions.

meh.

Disagree.

 

[sportage]

I know what this is...
Is this when you come to and it think your hands are missing?
And you dropped the bong under the chair and naturally with no hands you can't retrieve it?

 

[SphinxnihpS]

Prove that consciousness exists.

Prove anything exists.

 

[zinfamous]

OH look. Someone needed to replace Silver Prime I guess.

evidence....

 

[xBiffx]

I don't know what I don't know.

 

[zinfamous]

I don't know what I don't know.

No you don't!

 

[sdifox]

I fap therefore I am
