  • you left out a lot of things that should have been said.. this is good but theres much much more to be taken into consideration.. in the order in which qualiaturns into consciouse expierence.

    i can tell from your thought processes, your obviously athiest, therefor very narrow minded. okay explination but you definitely are wrong. good try though

  • The idea our reality being immersed into a electromagnetic field is accepted by many within the scientific community ( Danah Zohar, The Quantum Self ) . Particularly, among theoretical physicists. The one thing that puzzles me about your ideas is that you claim that the elector magnetic signals are not encoded before they reach our senses and decoded to reach our consciousness. Probably we do not know where to look. What do you think?

  • @GABRIEL1949

    I'm saying that we WON'T find a place where they're decoded and encoded, because there is no recipient per se. When it comes to qualia and conscious experience, there is no experiencER. There is no recipient of the experience; this just leads to the old infinite regress. Instead, ALL there is, is the experience; sans experiencer. It's rather self expressing. And the philosophical, Cartesian I essentially is the same thing as the associated electro-magnetic activity.

  • There's no experiential self? Then why am I here experiencing things?

  • cool video and cool idea, me gusta!

  • Hmmm,,, Well, I guess we are saying much the same thing. I like it.

  • Dude, Qualia = experiance. So,,,,,, NOT! That's all you got?

  • So you are simply saying this Qualia is not experiance, and thereby claim that we are it and without experiance. The'ol bait and switch.

  • 1) I disagree entirely, although I very much enjoyes the explinations of the brain's innerworkings.

  • 2) Since we can abstract reality into believing it to be of a concrete form, as well as abstract the thought of reality thereby creating the reality appearance distinction we confuse ourselves into thinking that thought is not reality. We further confuse ourselves by believing that reality is non thought, but can and must be apprehended. What we have managed to do is to abstract both when in fact both exist for us as experience.

  • 3) So reality is really the abstract, and so too is a mental image of it when we abstract a thought about a thing into an object of inquiry and again ask what it is. Our confusion is in our classification of thing as object and thought as thing or vies versa. It is the Universe itself which is made not of things to be thought of, but experience itself is the Universe.
