I have returned. I briefly read the other thread concerning consciousness. It then got bogged down in some irrelevant stuff as well as the definition of consciousness. Somehow too, it has been implied that the unravelling of how the brain works will bring us closer and closer to knowing consciousness.
I do not think so. I think even if scientists have unravelled fully each atom of the brain, they with their consciousness will still wonder what is this consciousness!?
To those who keep tripping up on the definition of consciousness, it may be better phrased as:
"If one day scientists have unravelled the organic brain totally, will they be able to fully explain what exactly our thoughts, feelings, things we sense and our willing for things to be done(actions) are?"
My answer is no, other than if some philosopher's answer
