When brains get sufficiently big, presumably, as human brains have, consciousness seems to emerge.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Consciousness, for me, is a manifestation of complexity in biology. It's an emergent property.
No school of philosophy has ever solved this question of whether being determines consciousness or the other way around. It may be a false antithesis.
What happens is consciousness operates in mysterious ways. One of those ways is that the old paradigm suddenly starts to die.
I'm not the first person to have discovered evidence that consciousness exists beyond the body. Brief, wonderful glimpses of this realm are as old as human history.
Consciousness allows you the capacity to plan.
The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.
Consciousness is what makes the mind-body problem really intractable.
Consciousness itself is an infinite regress. This explains coincidences.
Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this.
Consciousness is a disease.
