RE: There Is No Such Thing As Free Will
This is a meaningless statement. Of course consciousness exists because otherwise what are you going to call all of this happening around you that you're experiencing?
electrical simulation that renders a given perceived reality. all living things have it.
"Consciousness" is the state of being conscious.
and water is wet. you are not saying anything.
Much of what happens and you perceive as free-will is like the inevitability of growing hair. For example the older you get the less sex libido you get thus your choices about copulation change.
now. you are free to brainstorm in how many other thousand ways your choices are not yours just by looking at your own body that is slowly changing either by time or the environment around you
I'm confused it's like you didn't read my comment.
Did you stop reading as soon as you got to the first few lines?
So what do you define as sleep if sleep isn't a state where one is not conscious ?
You're also setting up a difference between living things and dead things but you don't want to call that difference consciousness. You've not changed anything you've just lost a word to describe a difference. You're just playing a self defeating language game
.>and water is wet.
We say water is wet to describe the contrasting experience to what we call dry. Are you saying that water isn't wet? That there's no such thing as wetness and dryness?
"Conscious" and "unconscious "describe contrast. You get rid of the word and you still have the contrast you just don't have a word for it now.
random imagery going through your mind. The brain is unloading in order to be able to store new info.
Why should I? You are in need for calling it even though you really have no idea what it means. There is no universal definition of consciousness you know. So, when you stumble upon these kind of "vague" words instead of adopting them try to question their origin and nature.
Not really. I told you. You just don't want to accept it. All life has electrical signal stimulation going on in its physiology. A rock doesn't. You want a word for that? Sorry. definitions speak louder than abstract words.
I was being ironic to you previous statement.
electrically stimulated vs not electrically stimulated
