What is the origin, purpose and evolution of consciousness

Postby 88sins » April 21st, 2021, 1:43 pm

What are your thoughts on this?


Where does it come from?
When does consciousness in living organisms begin?
What is it's purpose? And do you think that it's purpose has changed as humans have evolved over the centuries? And if you do, do you think it has evolved or devolved?
Do you think it can be synthesized? And if it can be, should it be?
When a living conscious organism expires, does that consciousness truly and entirely cease to be?

Now that I know you serious.I think that consciousness always existed and never ceases to exist.How we percieve it is how our brains allow us to ie chemicals etc., But it there none the less.I don't think we can harness it so to speak, but I believe that we can be more perceptive and receptive of it.
Is that along the lines of thought you were going with?

When does consciousness in living organisms begin? When God is finished with your plan.
What is it's purpose? And do you think that it's purpose has changed as humans have evolved over the centuries? And if you do, do you think it has evolved or devolved? All God's plan.
Do you think it can be synthesized? And if it can be, should it be? Nothing created by God can be made by man.
When a living conscious organism expires, does that consciousness truly and entirely cease to be? We go into a deep sleep until the second coming of Christ, we would not realize we have been sleeping it would seem like a blink.

@OP

This is why teleportation as we understand it now, will never work. You can disassemble, transport and reassemble all the information for that entity down to the quantum level, but the thing you re-create at the other end will just be a glob of mass without a soul/consciousness; and you would have effectively killed the original in the transport.

The same thing will happen if you try to upload your consciousness to a robot brain in a jar (à la Futurama).. you would have died, and the resultant AI heuristics in the brain <> consciousness.

Same issue with cryogenics.

Each one a deadshow.

Dead is dead. Once the soul has left the building, consciousness is gone.

Interesting topic. On consciousness, this is similar to my views.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t38ub_BchNE

This human species will eventually devour itself in war and man made disaster because of the nature of humans and what we are through mistakes of evolution. The ones that manage to survive will proceed to commit it again within 10 000 years. And again. And only with evolution of the bare survivors over about 200 000 years will a new human species emerge with more capable brains and a different nature that is not violent and cruel, while the ones who have left and are in space and on Mars will likely self-extinct as well. Violence, destruction and calculated cruelty is simply the nature of our species. It's our nature and we cannot escape it. We have evolved from and into an environment where it is still necessary to be that way to survive. Since the mid 20th century we have become capable of true and full self-annihilation and it will only be a matter of time before we commit the deed. The evidence is the number of atrocities we have done since world war two and the number of times we have come extremely close to pulling the nuclear trigger and destroying the environment.

My theories OP:

Consciousness and subconsciousness are two different functions of the brain to manage survival. One is active, small in scope and able to question everything including itself while one is passive and has knowledge too broad and detailed to be efficiently managed by the other, and that is also how I believe the former came about: one created the other through generations to act as an agent that is dependent on shared survival but independent in thought and influence over emotions.

Sort of and no, we should strike a balance with sci-tech and nature.

We would all like to know, but it's hard to imagine if it doesn't have energy independent of metabolism.
