Did our senses (the experiences) originate separately? pl0bs frequently asserts that consciousness is experiences so we can rewrite as: Did our consciousness originate separately? and ask, "Separately from what?"
In a related topic, we got this:
pl0bs wrote:Heres my position:
- we experience the world around us and this set of experiences is also known as consciousness
This gets repeated a lot so it must be true.
However, it does allow the following clarifying rewrite...
- the experiences have consciousness has causal power or they it and our sense organs could not have evolved
In other words, consciousness and sense organs could not have evolved without consciousness. Circular reasoning is circular and error-prone.
Here is pl0bs' “position”, aka Option C for the op: assertion + circular reasoning => word salad.
A beer with salad?
