Evidence? |
|
I just cannot comprehend the idea of two people being able to experience conciousness at once, I feel that only one person is ever concious at any one time and that possibily we are all one conciousness experienced at different times. Its hard to explain so feel free to ask questions about my theory |

No, not at all. That's like saying a loaf of bread can't exist if another loaf of bread already exists. It doesn't make any sense. |

even if you believe we are all one consciousness, does not mean only one point of conscious is conscious at a time |
|
Well from a subjective standpoint, which is the only way anyone ever experiences the world, we only experience our own consciousness directly. You might be lead to conclude that there is only one consciousness-your own. It might help to concieve of consciousness as a series of 'points'. Each point is a moment of conscious experience and your single consciousness travels along those points independently of 'external world time'. At a single point of external time there could be billions of different 'points' of consciousness. An interesting consequence of thinking about consciousness in this way is that, if you believe there is only one consciousness, you are connected to other peoples' consciousness just as much as you are connected to your own past and future. |

Super profundo on the early eve of your day
Like a ghost flitting through a world of machines, experiencing one robot's memories and feelings without memory of its previous lives? (either minute-b-minute or one life at a time, does it matter?) |

Makes no sense at all to me. If you can have one then you can have many. |
|
Good point Jet, even if you could experience other consciousnesses you could only experience that consciousness as being your own. |

Time is relative. Two consciousness can be active at the same time. However, they in must be experienced in a seperated order. |
|
I don't think consciousness can be experienced. Consciousness is experience. |

Every one of us in this thread is "I" |

So thatperson, do you mean that two consciousnesses couldn't be merged, two consciousnesses can't exist at the same time, or what? |
|
I'm pretty sure that what he's referring to is the theory that there is opne consciousness, and it's reincarnated into different people all the time. Eventually, most or all people will have been conscious for most or all of the time, even though there has only been one consciousness, with amnesia every time it switches bodies. |

You're assuming "consciousness" is a thing, and a non-physical thing, at that. |
|
Is it physical though? |
|
I HATE Plato. Seriously, maybe I'm just really stupid, but it seems to me that most of his ideas were completely inane and unfounded, especially his idea world nonsense. |
|
It's not really magic. When it comes down to it, physical reality is no more than maths. What we consider to be physical is a delusion; solid objects, etcetera. It's all just maths in the end. Fractals also suggest a platonic reality to me. |

I saw a documentary once where some woman had an operation where her brain was, to some degree, cut down the middle to stop her from having seizures. |

I'm pretty sure you're refering to one of the rare cases where someone has something called "alien hand." |

Thanks for the article, Sandform. That's exactly what I was talking about, but after reading the article I don't think it's a case of having two conscious minds in one either... which is sort of dissappointing. |
