EDIT: Let's cool it with the downvotes, dudes. We're not out to cut funding to your black hole detection chamber or revoke the degrees of chiropractors just because a couple of us don't believe in it, okay? Chill out, participate with the prompt and continue with having a nice day. I'm sure almost everybody has something to add.

That consciousness arises from matter as some emergent phenomenon. Integrated information theory, micro-tubules, or whatever: no.

I believe consciousness is fundamental.

The problem with consciousness is that everyone has different idea what is is.

That's the fundamental problem with everything, though.

I disagree with you, but that's because your comment means something entirely different to me.

That's not scientifically proven though, just an idea.
