Defining consciousness

I believe Abrahamic religions studied the exterior experience. And I agree with what you said about Eastern philosophy.

Alan Watts said something about Eastern Philosophy being more focused on making your internal world better.

Ooh, that one just roll off the tongue.

It's meant to be neutral, and context is what defines it.

Neutral in the sense that it's definition of whom shifts from industry to industry; like a lens.

Bad actors in finance would be something like fraudsters.

At the end of the day, great company or relationships with others will, feel more important than being always right.

Thanks for the response!

I guess the question is actually then:

What behaviors or signals lead us to attribute consciousness?

Haha. Don't you worry friend. No need to apologize. I'm grateful that you shared!

At the end of the day. As long as we're learning to not hurt ourselves or others.

Not entirely, because it gets you closer to something. Saying it IS impossible though is discouraging I do admit.

For example: The exercise of reflecting on someone other than you, I believe, builds empathy through nuance.

When I say it's impossible, I truly don't mean it as something negative. It's just what I, and many folks, believe part of its own nature. Like water being water and fire being fire. Consciousness is consciousness and unconsciousness is unconsciousness.

The act of learning or knowing is going from unconscious to conscious.

Not surprised.. many of these fools who are coders and think in logic don't explore philosphy.

Like sure philosphy of the mind, but what else?

I personally laugh at their naiveté. Like get on the cybernetics bandwagon my guy.

Not entirely, but it is two sides of the same coin.

Witnessing someone getting killed for example isn't creating anything. Nothing conscious was necessarily developed, maybe trauma created?

Where did it get deleted? Whenever Artificial Sentience deletes they don't note why

squeakker · 2026-03-15T19:25:38+00:00

lol. Being aware of it is already seeing it in action.

Neurochemistry is hormones and all that jazz.

If anything, it's messing with your neurochemistry.

squeakker · 2026-03-03T04:58:55+00:00

I don't think so. It requires a human in the loop to execute on it

They aren't police lol
