smoke a joint.it will open all kinds of point of views in your head,or consciousness.
perception is not consciousness.
I don't get it. He asks questions about what we see and suggests things like Swiss cheese and masks, but I fail to grasp his points. I don't think I see the things he is suggesting that some people see and his points therefore fly by with no comprehension on my part.
unconscious cells? This is where our philosophy stands at the moment; dogmatic poppycock.
There's still a massive gap between pointing out that there are neurological loopholes in our perceptive abilities which cause us to be fooled by visual, auditory and proprioceptive cues, and explaining the evolution of a mind that can think, is aware that it's thinking, and is aware that it's aware that it's thinking. The reductionist explanation would be, 'well, that's down to the sheer number of neurons involved.' Which I would find depressing!
hard to fail more dramatically , dicking around with 2d slides ?? hope danny was not paid or stipend for these horseshit ….there is no structural analog for consciousness , metaphor is helpful but
catastrophically inadequate , the brain cannot comprehend itself, much less the mind ( what ever that is ), its asymptotic.
This is pretty good at showing that the mind subjectively interprets information. Your brain recreates the world outside of itself through electrical impulses. It subjectively interprets reality. It does not explain how it does it – only that it does.
Oh my God what the heck is he talking about?? This is the brilliant minds of philosophy today?? I wanted to know where the illusion of consciousness is and I got NOTHING. How is comprehension and perception ANYTHING to do with consciousness. What a fail!
The brain is a filter for a complex world and the brain slices through the waves of probability creating a whirlpool of a self referencing system based stemming from a division (which creates locality AND free will btw) creating a "virtual mirror" that we call consciousness. NOT perception and comprehension. This demonstration was LAUGHABLE!
Consciousness, awareness, the sensation of a now: is a construction of memory and imagination spanning the inconceivably narrow separation of a no longer existing past and a not yet existing future.
This does not discuss consciousness. :/
Dan should stop doing "philosophy" and fix his rough breathing first. He has not learned(has not gained consciousness)yet that his body(health) is more important than his philosophy. It's more important for us to feel the signals first from our body before we spread our knowledge that we think we know.
There are two kinds of consciousness, one is, i call, an animal consciousness(; for example, the consciouness that your body responds with when a car approaches dangerously toward you) and another consciousness that you get after your thought process(; for example, your judgement or knowledge for stock-investment during an economic crisis). The latter consciousness are made solely of thoughts(human language kept in your brain unspoken out of your mouth. And human languages are absolutely identical of ghost which can not be learned or acknowedged by our "5 senses" like seeling,hearing,body-feeling,smelling and tasting.
You know, it's kind of ironic that if you don't focus too hard on the changing images you will pick up the changes quick because your eyes are relaxed and not focusing on anything in particular.
Nothing revealed here at all. Eye tricks and illusions don't explain consciousness. Neither does "Magic" or definitions of magic. "The brain makes you think that you are seeing yada,yada,yada…." errr…the brain makes who/what think??…the brain presents "an illusion" to exactly what/whom??…smh…
What a stupid talk, this guy doestnt even know where his feets are let alone explain consciousness.
What a fail and a lost of 20 mnts litsening to this old tart.
The mechanism of consciousness (obviously) cannot be explained in a 20-minute talk. This is why one (you) need to read Daniel Dennett's book: "Consciousness Explained". The workings of your consciousness is as complex as your own brain.
Dennett said nothing about consciousness… Spatial vision, visual acuity, observation, and perception have nothing to do with consciousness.. That's all visual ability.. A hawk can see things more acutely than we can — but they can't understand nuclear fission or fusion or engage in mental contemplations such as how to design a jet engine.. The value of an education and the virtue of habits and excellence never occur to a hawk.. They don't get a twinge of conscience or experience conscious mental resistance when a sensuous thought flutters through their mind looking at a shapely women in Lululemons.. They don't make career plans or worry about their finances.. Hawks don't laugh their asses off at funny jokes.. Consciousness, free thought, and free will aren't illusions.. Humans can control our thoughts.. We can change our minds… change our habits… quit smoking… change our bodies from fat to slim.. skinny to muscular.. change our personalities from angry and uptight to patient and relaxed.. We can bear the cruel accidents of life with dignity and grace, making the best of our circumstances.. We're not programmed moist robots.. This is the life of the mind and free choice. Consciousness is part of our eternal nature that separates us from all other species.. We feel things deep in our soul.
The human senses are not consciousness.
I wonder why people so strongly believe he is wrong….
How many of you did not perceive that this talk was not about consciousness ?
If my consciousness is an illusion than, what am I or anyone else supposed to utilize in order to conceptualize what is conveyed as illusory if there is no counter point to draw an inference. Illusions have no reference point, illusion are chaotic.This leads to the no free will conundrum. If one possess no options but reductive behaviorism or, slavery to external stimulus than, as above, one is left with no counter point to infer duality. It can't be all ones or all zeros.
