The same level differences came up in a response I made to you last night ,i.e., as the differences in level between brain cells/neurons and consciousness...I had fun saying that perhaps cellular determinist structures underlie free consciousness...Negatio.On second thought emjay, Perhaps we should be careful not to presuppose that consciousness is not smaller than human cells, yes, of course consciousness viably underlies cells, inhabits cells, directs cells; it must be...I cannot imagine a different consciousness for my sapientality and, for each of billions of cells...perhaps I have billions of consciousnesses, one for each cell !?
I'll leave you to ponder that one yourself
If you want to see what my position on consciousness is I suggest reading my Seeing Red thread from a while ago. There you'll see my walls of text in abundance
But basically I can't explain my position on consciousness in a few lines of text any more than you can with your position in the OP, so I won't even try... other than to direct you to that thread in case you're interested. That was a very intense discussion that went on for about a month, primarily between me, Khemikal, bennyboy, Jorm, and Neo-Scholastic. It was very insightful for me, but at the same time very intense and tiring, so it's not something I could do everyday, and is therefore one of the reasons I'm backing out of this thread... since it could go the same way
