…it has no explanatory powers, that was one of the other major objections to it, it is entirely unsupported by objective evidence, and it is unfalsifiable. I invite anyone to read the other objections that @JESUS_IS_WITH_YOU has ignored, and clearly wants to move quickly away from.
Please stop lying about what I have and have not claimed.
Yes, chemical processes do indeed happen outside of the brain. That’s not news to me. Do you consider all chemical processes to be duplicates of each other, or even similar?
I don’t believe that what is happening inside my brain is happening outside of it. I’m pretty sure that there are not dopamine or serotonin in my dining room table.
You actually haven’t any idea what I perceive or understand. That’s awfully presumptuous of you.
If you are equating qualia with consciousness, then, as I’ve said before, I account for it. My dog accounts for it. Perhaps even you do.
(You might ask why I qualified that last sentence with the word perhaps. Well, based on what you’ve written, your persona could very well be AI that is clownishly masquerading as a human on a debate forum.)
Obviously, there is no misogynistic connotation in my words—not just in the intention, but also based on all the Google definitions of ‘oh dear’ that I’ve seen, which imply surprise or disappointment, not anything misogynistic.
On the other hand, the phrase ‘Reread this and ask yourself if, with it, you were flying the asshole flag’ from you is clearly offensive and rude.
I will only apologize if the same rules are applied to everyone equally.
“The problems with panpsychism are at least fourfold: the theory is untestable, there’s no evidence for consciousness of inanimate matter, there’s no explanation how the “rudimentary” consciousness of molecules and atoms can combine to produce to the complex consciousness of humans and (surely) other mammals, and we have made no progress in understanding consciousness by considering or adhering to panpsychism. It seems to be a view that, ultimately, will not help us understand consciousness.”
“Sean Michael Carroll is an American theoretical physicist and philosopher who specializes in quantum mechanics, cosmology, and the philosophy of science. He is the Homewood Professor of Natural Philosophy at Johns Hopkins University.”
Cool, let me know how that works out for you pal. Given your relentless dishonesty it was reasonable to speculate that you might be trolling. I can’t help you on calling some of your claims idiotic, as they demonstrably were. The one about us never seeing future events sticks in the mind, every event I’ve experienced in my life was at one point in the future, it was a spectacularly stupid claim.
Proceed to what, you endlessly repeating the same irrational arguments, and unevidenced claims ad infinitum, while dishonestly ignoring the responses, if you’re threatening to take this away, I’m fine with that. I still think you came here to preach, and not debate.
FYI my post wasn’t in reply to anyone specifically, it was for everyone to read, if they are minded to do so. I never for a moment expected an honest response from you, as you haven’t done this throughout the discourse.
