PopeBeanie started the topic Neural Correlates of Consciousness in the forum
Consciousness 7 years, 4 months agoJust as in any study of “Neural Correlates of _________” (fill in the blank), the neurosciences are still at primitive stages.

PopeBeanie started the topic Defining Consciousness in the forum
Consciousness 7 years, 5 months agoMost non-scientists with an opinion on what consciousness is don’t seem to agree well on definitions, and scientists are still working out definitions at the same time as they accomplish empirical research. I just thought I’d keep a topic open for suggestions on agreeable terminology, and the latest definitions.
Starting with a very interesting…[Read more]

PopeBeanie started the topic "Artificial Intelligence" in the forum
Consciousness 7 years, 5 months agoThis topic’s in quotes, because the term AI is currently defined by we humans in various ways. At least at this moment, let’s try to focus primarily on our shared human experiences, with less focus or speculation on how (e.g.) alien intelligence or AI itself might someday propose or enforce its own definitions on us; 🙂 lol haha I’ll be back, be…[Read more]

I listened to the whole recording, and now believe it’s from a Puma orbiting a relatively small black hole.

Atheist Cats 7 years, 9 months ago“Escape Plan” version 43.
I think my attempts to destroy my guards mental well-being is on track. Yesterday I scoffed down all that expensive cat food and today I just ignored it as if it is made from dead dogs. This seems to freak her out. At night I pretend to see ghost spiders in the distance and she starts looking for them!! She keeps fal…[Read more]

The question that intrigues me…is consciousness just a byproduct of intelligence or did (does?) it serve a purpose for the species that appear to possess it?
