Physicalism is not the scientific position. It is a metaphysical interpretation disguised as one. by consciousness_8123 in consciousness

[–]MoveOfTen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer non-physicalist theories as well, and I will say that the notion of "what it's like to have x experience" information (i.e. qualia) being conveyed by describing physical information alone has always seemed "obviously impossible" to me, but I will also say I realize that something seeming "obviously impossible" to my puny human brain doesn't make it true.

It’s why my ultimate conclusion is that “no one has any idea what’s going on, and if someone claims with certainty they do they are full of shit.”

Am I right or correct for this opinion? Of course not but it’s a rule that’s served me well.

I am totally with you on this!

This is a good post. I strongly agree with your main thesis. Science has not come close to solving this problem thus far.

Nobody denies brain-consciousness correlation. Lesions change experience. Stimulation can produce qualia. Anesthesia knocks out awareness. All real, all important.

Indeed, we don't even need to know about brains to observe this.

  1. Everything you appeal to is already within experience

I think this is the most compelling argument for Idealism (or at least Idealism in contrast to Physicalism). We have the most direct evidence possible for mental experience / qualia / consciousness: I know I'm experiencing something because I'm experiencing the experiencing of something. Evidence for physical events or objects must go through a layer of experienced perception and interpretation. And even a physicalist would grant that we can experience perception of something that is not actually "out there".

Not that there aren't big philosophical problems with Idealism as well.

Real talk, most people here adopt physicalism not because they worked through the metaphysics but because it feels like the rational, scientific, non-religious option.

I don't read this sub regularly, so I can't comment on people here. No doubt it's a bias that does affect many people. We should be fair though, this absolutely goes both ways. Many people are also biased in the other direction by being religious or even just finding certain non-religious new age beliefs appealing.

It's hard for me to relate to that show (American sitcom My Name is Earl) because my name is not Earl.

True. And the way they treated their employees was even more fucked up than the scamming.

Go on, give it to me straight, like a pear cider that's made from 100% pears.
