  • top ten answers why conciousness pervades the universe

    10:there is a term panpsychism. it's were people that can't explain their position or jump science fields use big words.
    9: it's lame but cool to try to explain how a single electron is conscious but electrons are so simple it's consciousness is limited.
    8: you can mention Galileo and ride his coattails by saying he believed in it too!
    7: similarly you can mention Einstein even though neither really thought about it
    6: that's when you start talking about how we don't even know what matter is. if it can be converted from pure energy
    5: try to explain why Neil Bohr said understanding the quantum measurement problem was futile
    4: talk about how some serious theoretical physicists think there is no such thing as freewill. even though there is.
    3: talk about the extraordinary things other species can do, like dogs ability to smell and how much smarter cats are to humans
    2: mention the 1950's Stanley Miller experiment to create the materials for life
    1: state only organic materials can be conscious and that's why you don't see skynet taking over the world yet.

    I had some left over. like ants, for example, a single ant can't have very much on it's mind. but it's the most successful species on the planet. thus are we unknowingly living in a hive mentality. my biggest question is if you were God, why would you create the universe before even getting into how you did. that's were you find the answer. which leads to how. the universe is made orderly. electrons follow laws. is there a physical and metaphysical connection. is there a natural pattern in the Serengeti that can be applied to technology. E.O. Wilson would be proud.

    theoretically everyone should experience the color red or the smell of flowers or the taste of mint the same. but we don't. you can extrapolate it further, we should have the same opinion of everything but we are different. this is based on our own personal experiences. the problem of consciousness is the greatest mystery of all. if you can explain it you can do anything.

    but you can't. everything about your experiences is subjective because you are part of the universe itself. you are not an observer, you are a participant. everything you see and experience is part of the reason you exist.

    why do you exist and instead not exist. you can never be an objective observer. actually Einstein probably did think about it. it's why we try to explain what space is. you'll never be able to figure it out because you are part of it. it's subjective. you're born from it. we are made from stardust. you can't figure out anymore why you are here as much as God can. when you figure it out He will. but lets be logical, you don't just create a universe because you can, you do it for a reason.

    if you were God, and I apologize to athiests, what would your reasons or thinking behind the reason and structure of the universe be.

    the universe seems to keep track of every movement of every molecule. bell's theorem. so much weirdness that even the best minds say we are holograms.

    do you think that the experiences of an ant or a dragonfly or a grasshopper are really any different that yours now? because someday you will be one. in a trillion years. you think time really means anything? so you got that to look foreword to. I think it would be cool to be a dragonfly and see funny things while having sex why flying from behind.

      And likely already been one.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.
