Yes comparing subjective experiences is the same as comparing brain patterns (in the crude sense of the word). Clearly you do not accept...

Fair point, my wording was a bit sloppy there. Let me be precise: I am arguing they are exactly the same thing. The subjective...

I agree there is no 1:1 mapping of neurons, but I don't think we need one. There is no 1:1 mapping of water molecules between two cups...

Yes, I am actually arguing exactly that. For me, consciousness and subjective experience are emergent phenomena of the physical brain...

You probably also mean that my perception of a red object might be a slightly different hue than yours, or that seeing red triggers a...

I have no expertise in neuroscience, but I expect there are ways to detect brain activity and indirectly measure our internal...

It will, but because energy is frame dependent the "gamma" ray will not be in the gamma energy range in this reference frame. It could...

If I shoot a bullet at you, but do it while travelling away from you at several hundred meters per second, you can just catch the bullet...

That is untrue. Like many things in science it can be measured indirectly.

... you learned the special theory of relativity? Then, you'd understand your question makes no sense. ##c## is not just constant...

For me consciousness is an emergent phenomenon of higher and higher number of self-interaction neurons. There is no one neuron, one...

Given how quickly AI is producing artificial versions of human behaviour, the hypothesis that consciousness is beyond what could be...

Wouldn't this mean that there is some kind of magic?

I have perhaps an unusual view that there is nothing special to explain. As a self-modifying algorithm becomes more sophisticated, it...

Can you cite one or more credible technical references that support the notion that consciousness "is made from a fundamental energy...
