In you're honest, rational opinion. If as life, we are just a chemical soup. With the same elements of the universe inside of us, just arranged in a more structured way, then how come we have subjective experience. Why is it that I have billions of basically identical neurons in my brain, that fire the same way, and yet they all collectively create one individual with subjectivity. Better yet, why is it an amoeba, with literally no neural structures present, can traverse and function as if it has subjectivity. Does that mean that all Life (including individual cells) have subjectivity? Including single celled organisms? What does that mean for us as living organisms, and in your opinion, why is is that this subjectivity exists in the first place in a basically benign non-living universe. and how far does this rabbit hole go? Does this mean that even basic Atoms are conscious and can feel subjectively?

  1. Sorry, but do not mix "we" with "chemical soup"! And we are more than "living organisms." Before presenting your case you are required to have a clear understanding of your terms used in order to avoid confusion.

    Yes, all LIFE has consciousness. There is not one 'dead' particle in all the living universe(s). What ignorant man sees as death is simply transmutation from one state to another.

    You need to differentiate between the action of Life and the activity of the brain. If I may quote my fave author/healer:

    ---------------

    "Mind and brain interpenetrate each other, the mind is positive while the brain is negative.

    "Mind and brain react to each other, the one is indispensable to the other on this plane of existence. Impulses in the brain cells create action in the body. Life is continuous - man is dependent on life. Life is intelligence, mind in action, which operates upon the brain cells, and the brain cells in turn act upon the body."

    ------------------

    By your term "subjectivity" do you mean "identity"? They are opposites according to my thinking. But perhaps more can be said in another thread on this topic.


  2. Either you are smoking way too much cannabis or some professor of yours has given you a bs question whose answer is going to be subjective anyways so what is the point in answering it?

  3. We don't grow up the same way.

    We don't grow up with the same people around us.

    We aren't born with the same genetic makeup.
