Unfortunately no one has been able to provide a physical mechanism that links consciousness (however defined) to any unique brain process. It's just an assumption born of naturalistic bias.
well once your neurontransmitters stop firing there are no signs of conciousness......not a asumption no functional brain = no signs of conciousness.
At least the idea is not as patently absurd as saying that consciousness is some kind of illusion. If consciousness were an illusion then of what is it an illusion?
nope is not a illusion i agree
Which is worse: Believing in something that exists beyond the physical senses OR denying the direct unmediated evidence of your own experience?
well isn`t your brain mediating your experiance? experiance isn`t very dependable anyways i mean for example when you experiance of the size of the moon when you look outside does that mean that the moon is actually that size or is your perception from you visual experiance manipulating the information recieved? when you take drugs (like mot people i suspect on here doo lol) then would the experiance true just because you experianced it? thoughts are merely a functional by product of physical reaction pretaining to your brain (mind) without it there is no evidence to suggest that the process of thought has been experianced.
