In the spirit of understanding i am going to start asking yall for your truth and definitions
So in your own words.
What is consciousness ?

Discussion
Being aware of your own existence
Awareness of awareness
Definitely not a term i made up but i love all it means
Hypothetically, can a robot be conscious? Like Skynet in Terminator. In other words, do you have to be alive to be able to experience consciousness or could electricity flow through you and be aware of it?
Im not high enough for that discussion
😂😂
In other words, is existence the same as being alive. I would tend towards yes. But as technology progresses, maybe this changes.
Except for dolphins and whales, are other animals conscious? So in a way consciousness and being alive aren’t the same. So I still agree with our initial definition
I think that awareness of awareness is a good way to divide instinct and being aware probally can be reproduced in a robot at some point.
But being aware of your own thought process etc i think is the thing that makes us human
I think (high level of) intelligence could differentiate between instinct and being aware. Maybe certain animals have higher intelligence than others. But maybe not as much intelligence as humans. Just thinking out loud
Your question made me think of this. This is like 35 years old now.
Old Star Trek hits different than the new stuff.
Interesting 👀
One’s awareness
for me to put it simply its an outside energy that allows us to interact with this reality. i see its influence through the double slit and wigners friend experiments
We believe that consciousness is the rational way of interpreting the actions and decisions we make in life. But in reality our life is determined by our unconscious, and as long as what is there does not become aware of all the things that happen to us in life we will call it destiny.

Being completely awake to the fact it could ALL be gone in a heartbeat.
