SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the "hard problem" of consciousness, highlighting the complexities faced by psychologists and neuropharmacologists in understanding its origins. It references Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) like Prozac, which take 3-5 weeks to show noticeable effects despite immediate biochemical similarities between depressed and non-depressed individuals. The conversation also touches on historical instances of civilization abandonment, such as the Anasazi and Mayans, suggesting a link between societal collapse and environmental factors. Participants express a fascination with fringe theories and the philosophical implications of consciousness.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the "hard problem" of consciousness
  • Familiarity with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and their effects
  • Knowledge of historical civilizations like the Anasazi and Mayans
  • Basic concepts in psychology and neuropharmacology
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of SSRIs on consciousness and mental health
  • Explore philosophical theories surrounding the origins of consciousness
  • Investigate historical case studies of civilization collapses
  • Examine the relationship between perception and reality in psychological contexts
USEFUL FOR

Psychologists, neuropharmacologists, historians, and anyone interested in the philosophical aspects of consciousness and its implications on human behavior.

Re: first impression
Just glanced through the topics here, they all seem interesting, and I'll go through them all in detail later, what the about incredible anomolies awaiting credible investigation?

moon some sort of gamma ray or high energy particle interaction maybe?

Anasazi, this is probably not the only instance of peoples abandoning civilisations, this is precisely what happened to the Mayans who returned to the jungle tribal existence from whence they came after, it is suggested, widespread famine, very difficult to find evidence of famine. The Aztecs are reported to have sacrificed 50,000 people in one day to assuage the sun gods anger and return fertility to their lands.

The hard problem: where does conciousness come from: is a philosophical and theroretical nightmare for psychologists and neuropharmacologists alike, an example of the scale of the problem: Selective Seratonin Re-uptake Inhibitors(SSRI's i.e Prozac) take 3-5 weeks to have any noticible effect, but the brain chemistry of a depressed person on SSRI's and non depressed person without any medication after just a few hours are identicle, so why's it take 3 weeks to have any conscious effect?

as I said will comment more seriously when I've read them.

yeah that gas venting is a sugestion for the ship sinkings in the Bermuda triangle.

Thanks for this stuff, I like fringe, non fringe physics whatever you wanta call it

Stuff and - nonsense?

Anyone got any ideas about the hard problem it's a subject that fascinates me.

perception is the clouding of reality surely :smile:
