The Crazy Truth About Human Consciousness



TopThink

What is consciousness? The true origin of human consciousness may seem difficult to identify. After all, how it works seems to be a tough mystery to unravel. Does quantum physics help to explain it? What about hallucinations from the brain? In this video, you will find out!

  1. …all this is about deals with Being and Doing and Exchanging in order to PLAY the game of COMMUNICATION which obviously is preferable than Doing NOTHING…

  2. It's interesting. From all of the times, I've wanted some peace, quietness, and solitude. The world around me became smaller. My room got smaller from all 3 different rooms I've slept in the last 3 years. All the group of friends I've had slowly drifted away.

    And now I'm mostly always alone. Experiencing things alone.

    I'm not sure if I like it. But I definitely don't like being in front of others either. Or am interested in meeting new people.

    Guess I'll tell my subconscious to cut the cord or something.

  3. Consciousness is colorblind. Not literally but it is perceived by everyone else differently.
    This may seem obvious, but it most certainly is not.
    It's precisely why we disagree with each other over what seems exact…or clear.
    IMO

  4. To me, consciousness is a mental process that repeats over and over again. It attempts to answer 2 questions 1) What is going on? 2) What should I do? I'm fairly sure consciousness exists in all living creatures.

  5. Our consciousness comes from our soul. We are spiritual beings in physical form. Consciousness is a gift given by God because we are made in the image of God. Our potential is way beyond what we think is possible. The problem is, we have been disconnected from the Source of life: God. Jesus taught us that the kingdom of heaven is rich in mysteries. It is up to us to uncover these mysteries by working with the Holy Spirit.

  6. I understand consciousness to mean awareness/higher level thinking. The automatic things (lower level thinking) that need some direction and regulation, like breathing and heartbeat don't require conscious thinking, and wouldn't work successfully if they did. Higher level thinking is too neurologically cumbersome to be any good for that sort of thing.
    So we have a cerebellum, medula and other specialized brain parts that are able to work efficiently for things that shouldn't need to bog down the human thinking (conscious) part of the brain. These specialized brain parts are not conscious by design.

  7. The real crazy truth is that consciousness is the ultimate foundation of all reality.

  8. Pretty much the theme of this video came to me a few weeks ago, and I drew a picture of our head, and jotted down the main points that came to me:
    Conscious: Above, Awareness, occasional planning and deciding
    Unconscious:Below, constantly planning and deciding without direct "conscious" awareness.
    Below, needs above, to think clearly and optimally, to help guide it's continual decision=making process.

    Fun synchronicity and confirmation of an idea.

  9. Red is red no matter how you percieve it…no two people see colors the same but when presented with a color named red…whatever you are seeing in relation to that identifier is red to you…furthermore pain is there whether you percieve it or not…there are clearly ways to suppress it…no need to suppress what is not there….videos like this just confuse people…the truth is simple it doesnt need to be muddled

  10. So if there was a BIG BANG. Did it make the noise? Well no one was there to hear it but we can hear the noise of the Big Bang today.
    I think it made a noise.
    What do you think 🤔

  11. Not quite getting this one. So what was the 'crazy truth about human consciousness?' What made it consciousness unique to humans and what made it crazy? There's a lot of info, but little relate to the premise, and none state a conclusion to the premise. I could go into a lot on each topic – seriously, the perception of a wavelength of color does not define or change that wavelength in any way. Being color blind or blind doesn't change the color of something @_@ Perception is unique to every individual but there is still a shared reality (to the best of our measurable ability to observe.) The wavelength exists whether an eye is there to perceive it.

    This feels scattershot. Really, emotions/thoughts/questions still have chemical reactions in the body which the brain perceives and then labels/defines. Failing to be 'aware' that you're angry doesn't stop the surge of chemicals happening in the body; it just means you're not conscious of your anger. Not perceiving chemicals through the brain (say a lack of receptors to that chemical) doesn't mean the chemicals/reaction doesn't exist. It would have to be a lack of reaction to stimuli (be it physical or mental) to have no chemical flood and therefore not be. Perception doesn't change reality, only in how one experiences reality.

    Starting with a better definition of consciousness would likely solve a lot of the problems here. 'To be conscious of something is to experience it,' isn't accurate. We automatically experience through our senses be we aware of it or not. Consciousness is being aware of our experiences and of ourselves. The automatic functions of working senses isn't consciousness until the waking mind observes the experience. By stating 'to experience is to be conscious' forces all those nonsense data points in there about the unconscious automatic nervous system which has little to do with consciousness. Because it is 'human' consciousness, the focus should be more on self awareness, something to the best of our knowledge is unique to humans. But even when focusing on human consciousness, it is about our awareness of our experiences, not that we experience, that makes it consciousness.

    Legit, if you want to actually have a conclusion about the 'crazy truth about human consciousness,' it's that because our psyches can influence the ebb and flow of chemicals in our body on demand, our consciousness controls how we experience the world even when reality itself has a shared base structure that doesn't alter to perception. We can become enraged or fall in love with a mere thought without needing any physical reality as a stimulus. We can read inert symbols on a screen and conceptualize a voice and tone and mind/emotion behind it that will vary depending on each reader. We react to our perceptions and conceptions we create of the world in our minds and rarely to reality alone; a truth you need a high level of consciousness to be aware of.

  12. What has happened to top think. I miss peter but I’m sure I’ll get used to this new guys voice but where has all the channel content gone. No activity on channel!; what’s that about??
