In Philosophy Babble - The Great Minds Series

In this Instalment;
We’re delighted to have Emeritus Professor Bernard Carr, of mathematics and astronomy at Queen Mary College, University of London. He is co-author of the book Quantum Black Holes and he is also editor of the Universe and Multiverse. He is a former president of the Society for Psychical Research and is also currently President of the Scientific and Medical Network.

This conversation was recorded during a live session on Clubhouse @philosophybabble We highly recommends everyone to check out Professor Carr's lectures online. Please subscribe to the channel for future live session on Clubhouse. Don't forget to share, mention and like!

Topic of discussion : Hyper Dimensional "Consciousness"

The universe seems to be fine-tunings, if the value of these physical laws would much change in either direction then all we see and know could not exist. Physicists prefer the idea of the multiverse so that you wouldn’t then have to invoke the big “G”. Some may says that science and theology together reveal the reality. Some may says that only science makes sense; theology is a myth or woo woo. What's your thoughts? Please leave your comment below!

Quick Summary :
An interpretation of the physical world as 4 dimensional of brane in five dimensional bulk. Our separation only through how we view the world from our spacious presence of 10 of a second! That was how long we are separated! Our dreams are in a space at a higher dimensional space. How consciousness with the big C fragmented into billions of little c. The standard views of our inner awareness mostly focus on the neuron and neuronal circuits of the brain, Carr argued not progressing. He proposed to combine the two physics and don't simply dismissing psychical research with The Cosmic Uroboros! (Watch the full video to find out more!)

On this session we also briefly discussed Bernardo Kastrup model on Philosophy of mind @bernardokastrup

This man’s brilliance, wide knowledge base (including a rare expertise with psychical research), humility, and delightful disposition makes him one of my absolute favorites ❤ Wonderful guest! 👏🏻 I’m a neuroscientist and whole-heartedly agree with him on all of his major points. It’s actually been maddening for me that what he’s saying isn’t talked about/discussed/considered widely! It seems so obvious given the evidence he’s actually brave/unbiased enough to acknowledge.

I was amazed that Dr. Carr's initial presentation encapsulated pretty much all the conclusions I've come to in my 58 years of pondering these matters, but just as a rather insignificant local biology teacher (although with Dr. Carr's similar interests in psychical research and spirituality). I'm consoled that such a significant scientific mind, with much more hardcore scientific research behind him) has come to such similar views about these matters.

[GlenLake]

Love the speculation of hierarchical consciousness and minimum conscious perception. New food for thought. Thanks

As good as this is, Thomas Campbell’s MBT answers questions that remain here unanswered

[tjssailor]

This is the point I always try and make. All physicalist ideas fail at explaining why we seem to be the individuals we are. The physicalists have a massive blind spot to this. Why would electricity in my head create my consciousness and electricity in your head create your consciousness? Why am I, I and you, you? As well as not being able to explain any specific qualia materialist theories cannot explain this, the most important thing. Why do I seem to be a specific, individualized consciousness associated with a specific body while you seem to be a different specific, individualized consciousness associated with another body? Why am I, I and you, you? There were billions of bodies around before this one showed up so what changed that I should suddenly find myself to be looking out of the eyeballs of this particular body and no other? When it comes to understanding consciousness this is the most important question that must be asked and answered but it is rarely even acknowledged. When the ontologies purporting to explain consciousness are examined critically it becomes obvious that all materialist/reductionist strategies fail completely in attempting to address this question. What is the principled explanation for why:
A brain over here would generate my specific consciousness and a brain over there would generate your specific consciousness?
Integrated information over here would generate my specific consciousness and integrated information over there would generate your specific consciousness?
Global workspace over here would generate my specific consciousness and global workspace there would generate your specific consciousness?
Orchestrated quantum collapse in microtubules over here would generate my specific consciousness and orchestrated quantum collapse in microtubules over there would generate your specific consciousness?
A clump of conscious atoms over here (panpsychicism) would generate my specific consciousness and a clump of conscious over there would generate your specific consciousness?

Materialism already fails since it cannot find a transfer function between microvolt level sparks in the brain and any experience or qualia. In addition it’s not even possible for materialistic ontologies to address this question of individuality since no measurement can be made that could verify my consciousness vs your consciousness and therefore no materialist ontology could make any coherent statements about the subject.

[zebonautsmith]

Define Consciousness with a Big C. Is it floating in hyperspace? Does it have eyes and ears? If not, then what is it?

[ingenuity]

Do the blind and deaf have consciousness? If they do then their consciousness don't depend on the senses.

[truthlivingetc]

err this is not babble. i know you are being humble by calling it babble. but. you know.

[bryandraughn]

Another guy with a theory about how everyone else has reached their conclusions, and some theory of his own.
