Is consciousness physical?
 
Any thoughts.. ?
Saw this BBC Documentary on it I found it fascinating but kind of dissapointed towards tuhae end..

I refuse to believe awareness is a physical part of life idgaf

Is it on youtube? I got some thoughts, but I think I'd have more to add if I saw the documentary first.

KennyCerealBowl 11-21-2013 12:04 PM

Yeah look it up bbc documentary consciousness

Inno 11-21-2013 12:51 PM

Yes.

Tge act of being aware is physical.

where does the electricity come from?

Zen 11-21-2013 01:37 PM

Senses interpret physical stimuli for consciousness, but consciousness itself is not physical.

...the Nagger 11-21-2013 01:46 PM

consciousness

I would guess that yes it is physical.

Aren't dreams physical?

being conscious is something that your mind is physically doing tho...

So if I slice my brain in half.
Put one half into one skeleton, and another half in another skeleton. who am I?
If consciousness is physical then that means i'm technically 2 people at the same time.

Consciousness cannot be physical.

Lucos 11-21-2013 02:30 PM

If you slice ur brain in half you have zero physical consciousness.

Anyone here done dmt?

KennyCerealBowl 11-21-2013 02:37 PM

You know you can live with one half of a brain right.

Lucos 11-21-2013 04:55 PM

Being alive and being conscious arent the same thing

Consciousness cannot be physical.

split ya brains any which way and your tomorrow's still the same part of today.

from the beginning to the end, your relationship with 'the whole' has been 1:N

and while that fact remains... so does the question, are you conscious of it?

Masaii 11-21-2013 05:53 PM

Consciousness is not physical, it ceases to exist when you are dead, it is more. I want to say it is your soul but I dont know how to properly convey my thoughts so ill just leave it at that. Hard question to answer properly.

You dum fuck some infants have to remove half of a brain due to seizures and can still live as normal as a person with a full brain.

What i'm saying is that if consciousness was physical we would be conscious of both bodies ergo it cannot be physical. consciousness is something everyone has only for themselves and nobody else but.. what is it?

Wat


its a direct manifestation of your brain connected to your body

like

the control unit of the organism thats ur body


thats why if you rip out half ur brain, u can still be conscious... because "you" is the living, breathing bunch of body parts youre attached to

nah but fareal u aint making any sense for shit


compose ur sentences ffs ur mind is just ur brain

KennyCerealBowl 11-21-2013 09:06 PM

MAYBE ITS CUZ YA TO RETARDED TO GET WHERE IM GOING WITH THIS.

Consciousness isn't just a sense of being awake. It's a sense of self awareness okay look

If consciousness was physical that would imply that we are nothing but neurons encoded into our brains. SO well if thats true if IF hypothetically speaking I was to have one half of brain in one body and another half in another body. Who would I be?

You can switch a brain but you cannot switch awareness so awareness cannot be part of our brain.
