A question to the thinkers

i meant maybe its a more ongoing process, one long ass short circuit LOL

The longer it takes the better. I'm in no hurry for my conscious reality to end !

Can't wait to see what Eddie has to say about this.

Beat me to it.

Mine short circuits on a regular basis. I call them brain farts.

Who knows? But this is true: the pesky thing GOES nicely with a good chianti.

Conciousnesss is cultural. Certain arctic tribes had up to 15 words for white. Certain African tribes had no word or concept for green.
Little children see things differently than adults do, until they are "trained" to see things "the right way".

You've been hanging around Unrep too long.

Is consciousness reality? Or is reality consciousness?
What do you all think?

Both are a dream.

Dude...

I just hope this dream ends nicely - the current one is filled with ***holes who think they are bass players.

I think of reality as our group consciousness, and it apparently is pretty close to the same for everybody. Max Planck is pretty much dead on - you need consciousness to have or observe a reality. "I think therefore I am".

The reality is many people are better when unconscious.

I figure consciousness is a function of a physical brain. One clue that this might be the case is that consciousness can be affected by injuries to the brain.

Takes a lot of injury, usually death to get reality to go away. An injured brain still has a lot of reality - pain, sight, sound,etc. Granted it might not be a ponderable reality. Even simple organisms have a limited reality. Research shows you can "scare" plants into producing stress chemicals by playing them the sound of caterpillars chewing.

One of the things that Roger Ebert said as he lay dying was "It's all a hoax! Everything is happening at the same time!"

Is time fake? Is history currently really happening in the same place that we think it "occurred" but we can't see that spectrum? Do Twinkies really last forever? I can't take too much time to ponder such things. The Empire is set to strike back in 5 days, and I need to poop.

What is the usefulness of uselessness?

 

[edpal]

What is the usefulness of uselessness?

IT serves as an example of uselessness. Sort like mental breadcrumb along the trail of reality.

Does it matter?

What is mind?

Never mind.

In Unix if you pipe more into less is that the same as piping less into more, more or less?

There is nothing so underated as a good s77t and as overated as a bad f44k.

Too much thinking for one day, I need a taco and then some Hookers and Blow.
