Scientific Knowledge? If there is no God?

[Godnoze]

You could assume there's more than the chemistry, or the working bits if you like. I don't. Similarly, the question of why my consciousness is my own and why I cant hop into this or that guys probably has to do with my brain being pretty firmly planted in my own head (just a wild fucking guess). Science may not answer these questions to your satisfaction, but that's hardly the same as not having an answer.

I have no problem with one's consciousness being rooted in one's brain. I am not talking about consciousness, I am talking about subjectivity. Oh, I see, you probably don't distinguish between the two. Consciousness is an objective condition, I mean that I have every confidence that you, Rhythm, are every bit as conscious of your own existence as say QuestingHound08 presumably is of his, and of course (from my POV) as I am of mine. My problem is not THAT fact, of consciousness itself, which is as much as an objective reality as, say, a tree or this keyboard I am typing on or whatever. But it's the subjectivity of these consciousnesses which is what I find difficult to "get". Not the fact that you are locked into your brain, but the fact that you are locked into being you, and having the particular subjective experience that is particular to you. Only, because I am subjective, it is ultimately my own subjectivity that puzzles me most.

No - this isn't working, I can sense that this is not getting over there...

JEEEEZ-O!

I gotta STOP this!!!!

EDIT - a bit of confusion - where I refer to you "having the particular subjective experience that is particular to you" I am not meaning to refer to the experiences of whatever happens during the course of your life (such as for example you having to read this drivel) but to the experience of receiving experiences (whatever they may happen to be). I mean, not say you going along to the shops to buy your stuff, or whatever, and the the stuff you do, but rather the abstract state of subjectivity itself. I recognise that you ARE you, of course, and that I am I, (etc), but not the reason WHY that is so (in every particular case).





Nah!
