| Topic | Consciousness and free will are illusions |
| masterbarf 07/03/18 3:30:08 AM #31: | How naive.solosnake posted... The very fabric of the universe is conciousness. I would say consciousness is an inherent property to anything that is. The richness of consciousness depends on how much information can be absorbed and how it is stored. Everything that occurs is at its very core and exchange of information. The state of all things is in essence a log of information. Exchanges of information are inherently imperfect. I believe this includes a thing acquiring information about itself. Our subjective nature is not a result of some handicap preventing us from perceiving objective truths. It is in fact the inevitable result of existing in a universe that is inherently imperfect itself. Yet saying there is no objective truth is not the point I am getting at. That could be said, but the implication of an inherently imperfect universe is that objectivity and subjectivity are equally valid when describing the true nature of everything. Either, both, neither, or any combination of those, including said combinations are equally valid. It can be said that this and that are illusions but they also are. They are as much as anything. One can really make whatever they want out of it, but I believe in practicality. Making things complicated is fun to think about, but in the end I care about happiness and love. There's more to gain from being practical about our experience than trying to invalidate it. That's just my take on things. ... Copied to Clipboard! |
