Closer To Truth
How to explain our inner awareness that is at once most common and most mysterious? Traditional explanations focus at the level of neuron and neuronal circuits in the brain. But little real progress has motivated some to look much deeper, into the laws of physics — information theory, quantum mechanics, even postulating new laws of physics.

Emergence . . . miscreation
I wonder if they're consciously aware that they're over using the word consciousness?
Announcement: there is a virtual photon or wave function that is accumulating a history. Any wave function that accumulates a history cannot be annihilated without reversing it's history in the opposite order. This is how you get spooky life forms.
Wave function collapse once consciousness is introduced. Quantum mechanics collapse too. Do these guys ever study Schrodinger equation before they talked about quantum mechanics?
"I think that our learning to understand quantum theory is kindergarten classes compared to what we will have to grok to comprehend consciousness. Not that it will be some sort of complicated mathematics but some new way of thinking."
– Nick Herbert
Haircut!
The theory of consciousness and quantum mechanics is easily describe by this equation:
Consciousness + Quantum Mechanics = (woo woo)^2
The hard problem of consciousness is not to slip into dualism when talking about it. Chalmers has failed to do that. He now freely admits he is a dualist. He calls in it property dualism not substance dualism but both are just as bad. Dualism has never been helpful in understanding the world and it still isn't today. Chalmers and his hard problem have done nothing to further our understanding of the mind, perception or any human ability. Yet many researchers using the standard scientific methods have.
Dualism works well if your a preacher casting out spirits or a philosopher inviting them in.
Just another 'nutcase'…!
Same with discussing the expansion of the Universe…ie "Who is this guy doing the expanding?" https://malagabay.files.wordpress.com/2015/06/who-is-this-guy.jpg?w=640
Here as Im doing a course called What is a Mind on Futurelearn.
Chalmers looks so much more badass with the beard and the metal hair…
Something so obvious, but at the same time baffling ?
Consciousness is at the center of my experience, but I can't use my Consciousness to explain how or why I have conscious experiences in the first place. ?
Just because the wave function is collapsing that doesn't mean that consciousness did it
Penrose and Hammeroff…. Glad he mentioned them. Chalmers is great.
Dance dance dance but you still haven't been specific about a damn thing.
At :53 he mentioned quantum mechanics and consciousness in the same sentence. Deepak Chopra's Law!
It's kind of like Godwin's Law.
is that Banff?
I have read a couple of Dr Chalmer's writings and found them substantial, I find I have a hard time digesting his content when its through dialogue. I guess its tough to isolate a momentary perspective on the problems of consciousness.
What does Chalmers say the second approach is? He says panpsychism and what at 4:55?
You should all read Janes Roberts Seth material.
Robert Lawrence kuhn has been doing such a discussion's since his birth.but i am sure he didn't get anything than money.he is wearing a mask of die hard truthfinder but he is essentially a money maker.
Although the idea sounds ridiculous, yes it seems to be something between consciousness and quantum phenomena that at least deserves attention and careful investigation.
Very happy that he argues against pan-psychism using the right argument.
Things work at nuclear level in the body so any kind protection or science or consciousness is just an outcome.
my brain is hot and wet
Prof. Chalmers is a badass.
What's that thing on your head doing Dave? Trying to escape the questions.
Mr. Chalmers always has his jacket on but today he really needs it!
He says nothing, repeats old ideas. How about another panel with Niel Dave! Btw, what's the thing on your head doing? Trying to escape the questions
