Nobody has the slightest idea how anything material could be conscious


Pfademini_normal Moonpoppy Good morning & a very happy mothers day to all..those! minä tarvitsen vain itseni..Sometimes you find yourself in a state where everything seems cheerful and bright. Other times (although nothing has changed) everything seems dreary and dark. Daniel Dennett: “A mystery is a phenomenon that people don't know how to think about—yet. Human consciousness is just about the last surviving mystery

“No philosopher and hardly any novelist has ever managed to explain what that weird stuff, human consciousness, is really made of. Body, external objects, darty memories, warm fantasies, other minds, guilt, fear, hesitation, lies, glees, doles, breath-taking pains, a thousand things which words can only fumble at, co-exist, many fused together in a single unit of consciousness”— Iris Murdoch, in The Black Prince. 1973.

mactonnies: I just picked up a couple gifts for Mothers Day. (Because I wasn't grown in a vat, you know.)
