What do you think about
self or consciousness? Is it biochemical or does something exist beyond the physical? |

QUOTE(VietSteve @ Jul 22, 2005, 09:20 AM)  What do you think about self or consciousness? Is it biochemical or does something exist beyond the physical? I don't believe in consciousness. Our thoughts are generated in the neural network, which works biochemically. Obviously it is physical, the neurons are cells, just like any other cell. The more complex a neural network is, the more intelligent the species are. We're not separated from the rest of the Animal Kingdom by some magical consciousness, rather by being smarter. The nature of intelligence has been known for at least over half a century now. I think that people would benefit greatly by taking elementary interest in Neuroscience. There is so much knowledge available to us at our fingertips, that it is astounding how much of it is ignored and substituted by medieval superstition of souls and magic. |
