@realDrTT@ethereal_view@AFpost ... and like the stream/river, exactly when does consciousness begin and end? Sleep is a state of unconsciousness. We can be in a coma and considered unconscious but regain consciousness. Anesthesia and drugs can cause temporary or partial unconsciousness. It's a continuum.
@realDrTT@ethereal_view@AFpost Where does a stream become a river? How do we determine this? Volume of water? Depth? Width? Current speed? But EXACTLY when does this trickling stream reach the definitive point of "this is a river"?
Consciousness is not a binary concept. It has stages, phases, transitions...
@realDrTT@AFpost LOL. You honestly believe in a god? And what does being a Christian have to do with your opinion about consciousness as if that makes you an authority on the subject?
No "rational soul", you say? Who determines "rationality"? What about violent sociopaths? Are they conscious?
@jameybelyea @AndrewFeinberg Why does race matter? This is a country of many races. Is there one particular one you have something against, OR is there one particular one you think is supreme?
@Acyn He talks about cutting things we "LIKE"??? What the actual FUCK, you MAGA fucks??? He's talking about lifelines that keep your grammas, grampas, kids, spouses ALIVE for FUCK'S SAKE.
