A blog on consciousness by Janet Kwasniak. Skip to primary content. Using the word ‘consciousness’. The problem arises when we assume that consciousness means more than simply being aware and experiencing life as it happens. As soon as we leave the phenomenal area and look at other aspects that might be grouped in with the phenomenal, we start having problems. The problems come from the different ways that people view the world, people and brains. In the sense that one is conscious of the process. I avoi...

http://charbonniers.org/2013/09/20/pan-nonsense
A blog on consciousness by Janet Kwasniak. Skip to primary content. It seems that many people think that the basic mechanisms of the brain are understood, at least in outline. Therefore what we don’t understand is somehow a mystery that requires a mystical explanation. One of these mystical explanations is panconsciousness. There is no need for this. The brain is far from completely understood but there is continual progress. Don’t panic and jump into dualism. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.

Dissecting Our Selves: June 2015
http://dissectingourselves.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A materialist analyzes nature/nurture. Tuesday, June 23, 2015. Mental Imagery (or why most people are lying). Are your conjured mental images as robust as real life images? If you create a mental image of an apple, is it as detailed and vivid as looking at an apple on the table? I find most people deny this when pressed.). What is the relationship between dream images and mental images? Are your consciously created mental images as strong as dream images? If someone has a good study or a good way of expl...

A materialist analyzes nature/nurture. Saturday, November 29, 2014. Links to this post. Tuesday, November 25, 2014. We are machines. As reflective machines we want to be well-honed, highly skilled and knowledgeable. We want to live in strong families and strong societies, ones that help us build things and explore more things, and that help us have more pleasures, probably both base and more refined. Links to this post. Sunday, November 23, 2014. Stephen Hawking's Theory of Everything (TV). To do what I ...
