Looks like you'se guys is in trouble... looks like you precious has turned on you or rather 'science' latest theory is make room for the soul... I was going to reference several different websites but instead will just post

Here is a goggle search:

here is a few min break down:

In short the brain is not the host or contains consciousness. that the brain is a simple receiver of memory and consciousness. nothing is stored in the brain it is mearly a relay point breaking down our sensor experience and transmitting it to our consciousness and vise versa..

For you hard of imagination I am describing in scifi terms "the matrix." or in biblical terms the living soul and the resurrection.

Meaning when you die if you brain was the host of consciousness you cease to exist as so many of you 'good people' think. However many 'scientists' believe there is too much growing evidence (the more we understand the brain the greater evidence is that the brain sends and receives thought rather than create it and store our memories electrochemically.) to maintain that we are contain only within our brain, which means this world this life we live in avatars or if you older we live in the matrix.

So the beggs the question where is our consciousness stored? the scientific answer is in an alternate dimension, meaning we die here and wake up there... Which to me sounds alot like heaven... "absent from the body present with the lord."

WFT are you guys going to do if we can 'ping/verify this alternate universe?

Or is this junk science because your group of egg heads haven't told you what to think about this yet.

Try harder.

Oh fuck. Just seeing "Drich" and "The brain" I knew it was going to be car crash territory. Wasn't quite expecting this though.

Someone had better inform the Human Brain project that they are wasting their time. All those thousands of lifetimes of neuroscientists and computational neuroscientists wasted.

OP, it's blatantly obvious that you don't/can't science much, or at all.

Some people will believe anything as long as it's in a book.

Wow this is shit even by your already incredibly low standards Dirch

First of all, his analogy is wrong. No examination of the circuitry of a television leads us to conclude that the television is the source of the signal, so he's simply wrong in trying to draw a parallel there. So, no, we don't need to draw upon additional evidence in the case of the brain because we haven't concluded that the television is the source of the signal. His analogy is invalid, therefore his conclusions based on that analogy do not hold. Beyond that, his entire spiel is basically one long argument from ignorance. Science can't explain it, therefore God! We have good evidence that consciousness and the brain are related. Whether you find that evidence compelling or not is a matter of opinion.

Really? Gary Schwartz? You have gone full troll on us, Drich.

I clicked on it for the laughs I knew were coming.  Wasn't disappointed, either.

I read the article. I did not read the part about the brain not being the source of consciousness. I read that one part of the brain can tune into the frequency of other parts of the brain.

Even if consciousness and memory occurred remotely (it doesn't) it still wouldn't explain how it actually worked. It's the Homunculus argument all over again so often to used to try avoiding having to explain consciousness. Instead of explaining the fallacious argument just brushes it under the carpet.

Basically the fallacious argument is an excuse to not have to explain. It's the equivalent of goddidit.

I love how dripshit cant even be bothered looking at the descriptions on page 1 of his google search, never mind actually looking at the linked pages.

Can't build an argument from links to management speak self-help bullshit, drippy.
