On Consciousness
#37
Given that the question of consciousness is central t the OP, I would like to beg your indulgence to add a link here about a 'new' ideas about how it is possible, given the biological contraints that consciousness is even possible...

From Phy.org: Photon entanglement could explain the rapid brain signals behind consciousness
 

Understanding the nature of consciousness is one of the hardest problems in science. Some scientists have suggested that quantum mechanics, and in particular quantum entanglement, is the key to unraveling the phenomenon.

Now, a research group in China has shown that many entangled photons can be generated inside the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers. It could explain the rapid communication between neurons, which so far has been thought to be below the speed of sound, too slow to explain how the neural synchronization occurs.



Once we free ourselves from the notion that consciousness is a simple biochemical/neuronal phenomenon, we may find there are more dimension to consciousness than we ever presumed.
