Consciousness is a platform for awareness. We can be aware of things that directly enter our sensory systems from the outside. We ca also be aware of things that impact our sensory systems from the inside. In both cases, arousal to awareness only requires the brain stem to be triggered. I can be aware of a toothache by its internal generation of pain and the brain stem. I can also be aware of the dentist, though my visial cortex and brain stem, who is trying to relieve me of my pain. There are also composite affects; inside and outside, act together, such as projection.

Do you think that artificial/non-biological consciousness is possible?I still want to know your answer to my other questions in previous post.
My intent was good
Quote from: puppypower on 15/04/2020 14:56:19My intent was goodHow do you define good? From whose perspective?
In terms of what is good, I do not necessary follow a cultural list, but rather I observe the impact of my choices, on my body energy, to see if it dams or allows the natural flow. If ti does dam, how much does it dam the flow?
