Mystery of the consciousness
March 28, 2014 at 1:19 pm
Civilization is building space ships. Airplanes. Computers. Researching quantum physics. Soon we will have quantum computers etc.

Yet nobody knows shit about consciousness.

Ed Witten says consciousness will remain a mystery.
I watched the "Moving Naturalism Forward" event and apparently naturalists are having extremely hard time with it.

When will consciousness be figured out? Kind of funny that figuring out our own minds is the most difficult thing in the world.
