Does Matter Create Consciousness? Or Vice Versa?
#14
RE: Does Matter Create Consciousness? Or Vice Versa?
I believe that consciousness is a result of the Universe trying to understand itself. All we know is that there was an explosion and we know that no explosion is good. Since everything we knew of exploded, there is no one left to come examine the debris but the debris itself. You can imagine when a plane crashes, there's the national transportation safety board team that is dispatched. In our case, there was no team dispatched because the plane was existence itself for what we know.

We are here to put an end to the chaos and to find out what really happened. To do that, in my opinion we must first find a way not to die. Our life span allows for primitive goals like having sex, having fun etc. but when it comes to long term goals like finding out what really happened, 80 years falls short. We know our body is as chaotic as the universe itself, it was made on trial and error and that's why it dies. No such disorganized thing is meant to survive. I am sure that in the future, people will find a way to transfer our consciousness to prevent death, but if we cannot find such a way, then, the only way is to create something that never dies so that it can accumulate knowledge indefinitely and without the limits of the human brain.
