just about halfway through the problem of consciousness section, but it doesn't seem to me so much that the particles HAVE to be 'thoughtless', only that we define 'thoughts' as certain seemingly classical machinations of the biological brain. think of it in newtonian senses. you're using leverage against SOMETHING (what? conservation of momentum/gravity, if you will, for sake of argument) to maintain homeostasis--if not of only the physical body, but of wellbeing of the physical brain (to remain in its general 3rd dimensional shape, which seems to include psychology as depression and neuroplasticity, as it has some governance on the changing of the structure and behavior of the brain).<br><br>what you've essentially got with a brain, is a seemingly enclosed system that finds itself leveraged/entangled with other enclosed systemic nodes (organs), that act in a pulley-type sense, leveraging itself amongst other systems (think musculoskeletal system, digestive system, etc). the brain quickly (and seemingly inherently; subconsciously/involuntarily) learns/realizes that the name of the game is to intake chaos and tune it to this inherent leverage-setting within that seems to want to maintain itself indefinitely via homeostasis.<br><br>thanks to the existence of science and the advent of language by which to understand science, the brain (dependent in relative cognizant awareness--that is to say, more likely an adult, and not a developing child/baby) can utilize this branch of understanding to increase knowledge on how to maintain homeostasis exceedingly successfully, scaling with how much is investigated (imo, this is where quantum mechanics seemingly requires an observer, but rather i think quantum mechanics is exposing the inefficiency between what we credit to our conscious state, by highlighting all of the yet unaccounted variables exposed, through the apparent misunderstanding of the subconscious via classical mechanics).,(reply>), @Eden B well keep on horsing around, you don't know when your time will end. The subject is not important to you and you won't be so smug at your judgment with God. So just go on treating life as one silly game.,(reply>), @2fast2block yea ikr? i got the whole idea when i started calculating probabilities that im fucking based and everyone else was cringe, because someone else told me it didnt matter but they larped abt having more bitches than me for some reason. i thought they were cringe, so i started the thought experiment.,(reply>), @Eden B can you let me know what year you'll actually face what I gave? Like Greene, reality is something that does not like to be faced and hidden under a bunch of blah blah. It's your 'blah blah rug.',(reply>), @2fast2block u have my personality, i kinda like u now,(reply>), @Eden B do your guts feel better now that you relieved yourself in the comment section? That is all it was worth.
