Sleepy Skeleton Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 For some reason I read "conscious" as "couscous"... and I'd like that to be my answer. Link to post Share on other sites

Sea Lemon Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Dammit I really want some couscous now! As for the question at hand: Probably. But I guess it's always possible that my entire existence is actually an elaborate but incredibly boring dream. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm a couscous, but seriously consciousness seems to be a non-existing thing. I'm just much more complicated than things some people call "unconscious" Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I think I am, but sometimes I have trouble telling what's a dream and what's reality, so I can't be sure. Link to post Share on other sites
RK800 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Depends. Conscious -Con-scious- adj 1. Having an awareness of one's environment and one's own existence, thoughts, and sensations adj 2. mentally perceptive, alert, or awake. adj 3. capable of thought, will, or perception. So in some ways yes, always, in other's only sometimes, or partly. Link to post Share on other sites

Homer Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It doesn't really make much of a difference, does it? All I know is that being awake is different than being asleep, for example. Yet maybe the state in which we are during sleep is consciousness... "What if I'm already dead How would I know" (Noel Gallagher - "Stop The Clocks") Link to post Share on other sites

Sylvastor Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 As conscious as I can be. My brain told me I'm conscious but maybe my brain is just a liar. Brains – mine included – deceive us regularily. Need an easy and quick example? Think of the last dream in which you weren't aware it was a dream (aka non-lucid). Dreams are accepted as reality at the time they happen in your head. Reality could just as well be (as stated before) a very elaborate dream-like experience. Maybe consciousness doesn't exist at all and reality including our thoughts is scripted and ultimately only serves one purpose which likely nobody on this planet will ever find out. Or it was scripted in a way which prevents us of getting there. Spoiler It could be just an extremely detailed simulation which needs to advance to a certain point. – Made by unknown. Our consciousness could just as well be influenced by our hard-wired organic programming and events happening in our surroundings to the extent of actually being non-conscious beings, but under the impression of the thoughts that are triggered in us "conscious". A mental butterfly effect with a side effect basically. And with this thought-fuel, I shall leave this thread. Tell me if you figured out the question and then the answer to it.
