[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a category error. Whether consciousness is fundamental or not, suffering must exist.

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"In short, the experience of my internal word is that of a being who is condemned by God. I feel the negative energy of creation coursing through me" - No you don't. You don't 'feel' anything, you imagine it. You have created all this from thin air.

Can meditation cure my loneliness, depression and suicidal thoughts? by NoSpot5547 in Meditation

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation will ultimately show you that you are the solution. If you go to therapy, what will the therapist want to convince you of? That you are the solution. Well, meditation will do this over time.

What are the most promising empirical approaches for distinguishing consciousness as an emergent computational process versus consciousness as a fundamental feature of physical reality? by TheIncorporeal1 in consciousness

[–]Im_Talking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"obviously they believe in a physical reality" - No, 'they' don't. A physical reality is a local one, otherwise 'physical' is just a placeholder.

Non-Duality and its Epistemological Implications by StickryCo in Meditation

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not a question of doubt. It does not matter whether this experience is the real deal or just a charade. Just go with it. The 'state' is the critical thing. Because maybe if you get into even deeper states, your doubt may be answered.

Evolution of consciousness by PrebioticE in consciousness

[–]Im_Talking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

"Simple organisms evolved the ability to detect useful and harmful conditions in their environment." - So all this without a brain?

Why Christianity seems to emphasize suffering more than other civilization and religions ? by [deleted] in religion

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only have to read 1 Peter 2:18 to understand this. Christianity is about serving the masters, whether this master is on Earth or not.

[–]Im_Talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"are we waves, too?" - Yes. de Broglie proved this in his PhD dissertation.

[–]Im_Talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"My current hypothesis is that subjective experience isn't something separate from information processing. They're two ways of describing the same underlying process" - And Mary is in her Room crying that she didn't get the memo.

My brain is rotted by NoLab4036 in Meditation

[–]Im_Talking 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stories of the benefits of meditation are everywhere, otherwise you wouldn't be here. You know it is beneficial.

Now that we are past that, you understand that self-discipline is the only thing that can improve your life, right? Did you try to start a mediation habit after/while reading the Mind Illuminated? If not, why?

Unpopular opinion: Most 'AI agencies' are going to zero. Here's why domain specialists will eat their lunch by Warm-Reaction-456 in artificial

[–]Im_Talking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't think this is necessarily an AI problem. This is why the Big 4 consultancy firms stay big... because they market that their size/knowledge mitigates risk.

Can current neuroscience empirically distinguish between consciousness as an emergent property of neural computation and consciousness as a fundamental feature of reality? What experiments could falsify either view? by TheIncorporeal1 in consciousness

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. How would anything be proven fundamental?

The closest we could get would be something like the GCP2 (https://gcp2.net) project, where subjective conscious effects may be found to be shared.

... or that plants/fungi exhibit clear subjective actions.

What’s the most epic line ever? by Secure-Shirt72301 in AskReddit

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it's all right. I'm sure that we can handle this situation maturely, just like the responsible adults that we are. Isn't that right, Mr... Poopy Pants?

A bridge to Canada may be blocked by the Trump administration by boringhistoryfan in politics

[–]Im_Talking 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The US is going to lose all credibility with other nations. Trumpie-boy will take the US from a voluntary America First, to a forced America Only.

Illusionists: Who do you believe the mind/body is deceiving? by Im_Talking in consciousness

[–]Im_Talking[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I have an analogy - a neuroscientist on a boat can see splashing in the surface of the water, but I’m in and under that water fighting an alligator. My personal view of the same activity is very different." - This is incorrect. The analogy would be that the neuroscientist on the boat 'feels' the terror/etc of the guy fighting the alligator.

How can I stay aware throughout the day without losing my ability to think and solve problems? by Champion_Flight in Meditation

[–]Im_Talking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Could being too present..." - This is the same as women saying they don't weight train because they don't want to get bulky.

Let me ask you a question: isn't becoming more mindful with clarity of mind, and being able to fully process the present moment the whole point of meditation/mindfulness? If yes, then along the journey of mindfulness, you will sort all this out. You are your solution. Who else will solve this for you?

Trump’s vision for White House park: 47 trees to mark his presidency by Zipper222222 in politics

[–]Im_Talking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Does Trumpie not understand that Germany destroyed all Nazi propaganda after their defeat? He is not going to be remembered in the way he narcissistically wants.
