It’s called our “soul”. Read a Bible for once.

A physics professor should just tell his class “the proof is left to the students as a homework assignment” and claim credit when a student gets it right! Cmon man, do I have to solve all of the hard problems?

Our “brains” cannot even agree Bruce Jenner is a man.

Our “brains” now think math is racist. Probably sexist too, as it demands correct answers to problems.

Our “brains” now beieve we can just tax ourselves out of massive overspending, government handouts and giveaways.

Our “brains” now believe we only have less than 10 years left on the planet.

Our “brains” now believe co2 - the gas plants, grasses and trees require to live and in turn, produce oxygen - is dooming the pkanet and mut be severely reduced.

Yet scientists and great thinkers are unable to explain what consciousness is and they are equally baffled about where it comes from.

Because if you try to explain where it comes from you might swerve into "God," and we can't have that.

“The theory consists of a very complicated algorithm that, when applied to a detailed mathematical description of a physical system provides information about whether the system is conscious or not, and what it is conscious of,” said Kleiner.

IIT backs panpsychism to a great extent because even a proton can possess phi, according to the theory. And just as an apple, thermostat and computer can possess it, so can your chair and your desk all manner of other things across the universe.

LOL. I think these people have too much time on their hands. But I give them credit for their imaginations.

I think I see where this is going:

1. Everything has consciousness, even inanimate objects
2. Man, by his very existence, is disturbing those items
3. Ergo, Man’s existence is unacceptable and he has to go!! [Except for a small number of “elites”]

Lol, Biden, demented fake president.

Anyhow, it’s animism dressed up in different language.

Pseudoscience.

Glad we fund this kind of thing because they will inadvertently discover new things never dreamed of before, like roosting a wienie on the quantum level or making quantum particles talk to you...

Not the best sci-fi, but is still an intriguing take on disconnected consciousness in the universe...and what it means for Earth.

"There might be moral implications. We tend to treat systems that have conscious experiences different from systems that don't," said Kleiner.

"OK, rocks, listen up. We apologize for all the mistreatment we've heaped on you over the millennia. We are very sorry we pulverized you into cement dust and built our roads and houses from you. We are ready to pay ROCK REPARATIONS now. Can you please let us know where to send the check?"

I can’t even imagine how bad he is now. Mark Levin was playing a speech Biden gave the other day and Biden could barely get through it. He is agreeing to everything the radical left demands because he is brain damaged

A good book on the subject is The Self-Aware Universe: How Consciousness Creates tthe Material World by Amit Goswami. Fascinating.

The Buddhists are right. And nicer than most believers of any other religions.
