wow. The emotions they be flying.
Let’s see…
Consciousness is beyond what we can measure?
Consciousness can’t be measured?
Consciousness is a thing?
Consciousness must exist in a Platonic realm beyond all… [xyzpdq]?
come on.
Our ability to measure/not measure something has little to do with any bearing on whether something is real or not. It just speaks to current limitations.
I don’t mind knowing that everything I experience is from the past, and that the future is projection, which is ALSO made in the past, about this thing we call ‘the future’ – which is *also* the past, as we have no knowledge of it until it’s already past.
it’s not that hard to get. Terms like past/present/future are convenient… that is, unless you follow a Block View of Time… which is fine too, but that view misses much and assumes a-plenty. Useful though.
Of course I could be entirely missing ‘the point’ of what you guys were fighting over but I don’t think I did.
