INTRODUCTION:
I garnished with paragraphs in my novel to illustrate this arid theme, or perhaps for the lack of beauty of these immature ideas.
I meet with you because I want to correct the imperfections of my ideas through more efficient their views. So I braked
my scruples and objections to address these issues tired arduous and which are the limits of modern philosophy.
Now let us enter, we're like those explorers of my fiction:
... So continued at breakneck speed and rushed without hesitation into the abyss filled with uncertainty and epistemic void, falling into it. Had only guesses and logic, bravely explored these regions without shape or references that is the unknown, the impossible to understand. Determined to get even a little further and steal some understanding of the huge and ambiguous shadow that begins beyond the known ... (Thecnetos p. 40)
I hope the development of these clumsy scribbles his intellectual honesty, which is a form to show respect for the subject and our ignorance.
discuss is unwise to look smart, or to win debates. It is used as a means to excellent to an end, poor fool, a child should not be so impertinent insecurity right wing. The top should be on the lower and not vice versa. Let us today, the way this character:
right It happened for the same reason, not for the pleasure of thinking. His was a pure intelligence, and it was not serving anything other than itself. The other reason used as a means and not an end. But for him,
reason could not be subordinated to anything that is lower. (Idem PP21)
This exploration takes the dualism (two substances in the world: tangible and intangible) that these two, the immaterial substance (qualia and consciousness) is the first we can see who is and who is, and then indirectly and also found out that material.
A headache is not only the gestures of disgust or electrochemical events in neurons. MEANING
Since these words have different meanings, they need those addressed in this essay:
Conscience:
Recipient of the qualia. The self. Consciousness is always consciousness of something as Hursell said. But it is distinguished from the phenomena perceived, it changes the phenomenon and continued awareness. QUALIA
subjective and personal experience of the phenomenon, rojes red, the taste of coffee, feeling salty. Personal and subjective mode of perception. Lasts.
material (philosophical sense): particles, fields, the 4 forces and processes. INTANGIBLE
ENTITIES (consciousness, qualia). Are immaterial because they have properties that no material object possesses and lack of any property of matter
EVOLUTION: the exchange of genetic information Through the generations. It is caused by random mutation of genes. Which in turn modify the machinery of the organisms. Natural selection then goes on to retain the advantageous and disadvantageous to abolish.
PLANET OF THE PROBLEM
The workings of the mind originated in the biological evolution of nervous systems. Qualia and consciousness does not mean natural exceptions to this logic. However, it is hard to imagine the events that led to his appearance. PROBLEMS
1 .- INMATERILIDAD OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND
QUALIA immaterial how the material comes from? How mental entities arise from the combination or assembly of the physical?
The qualia or consciousness have no weight or volume or location. There are therefore subject or process.
How these phenomena have arisen to the immateriality of atoms and chemical reactions?
matter and natural processes are unconscious bodies, oblivious to each other, what Sartre called being in itself.
I thoroughly extinguished by becoming nothing was no longer living consciousness and insensitive thing I became a being in himself, unaware and unable to experience anything. Nothing would be possible or impossible, just me back something that was, without knowing what it was: a being without any connection with another being. I became a thing, and thus remain insensitive and apart for all eternity.
(Thecnetos p. 222)
evolution means the construction of biochemical machines made of matter and processes. How the unconscious parts of a machine can give rise to consciousness at all?
2 .-
BIOLOGICAL ROLE OF LACK OF AWARENESS
All details of a living being have a purpose: reproduction. Often this value is indirect.
awareness of the phenomena of the world is biologically useless.
A zombie might well survive and pass their genes to the next generation. For we can imagine and perhaps soon create, creativity and intelligence in machines unconscious. What is the use
awareness taste of food? Alone would be programmed to eat.
One can argue that evolution has linked the pleasant with the useful and therein lies the usefulness of consciousness, qualia-complex behavior. And we would say that:
Living beings are mere puppets of pleasure. All of human history has occurred just as it had happened only by the pursuit of pleasure and displeasure aversion to men, a puppet humanity always under the old reward and punishment mechanism sensorial, embodied by the early evolution in sentient beings ... to make them multiply. (THECNETOS p. 22.)
But this brings us to the next problem
3.-COMPLEXITY
IRREDUCTUIBLE
Complex systems must be able to have evolved from simpler systems. Through mutations. Its elements must always have been useful. The evolution is not expected.
In living things associated with nice things are useful for self propagation of the living. (Eating, drinking, sex etc.).
This evolution has linked the qualia of pleasure and useful behaviors. Thus living beings are like puppets of pleasure
From what consciousness and qualia conclude that pre-existed in leisure living disaggregated coupled with a mutation that linkages.
These elements must exist with another utility in living separately.
assume that all appeared at the same time and in association constitute an example of intelligent design or irreducible complexity.
I do not think that the lack of explanation is cause to believe god or something, you believe something when there is no explanation when needed.
HYPOTHETICAL QUALIA natural selection of the following paragraph
I entirely philosopher collaboration Stergios Korfiatis:
In a past state, Vivian beings who felt such things in relation to various life events. Those who felt such pleasure to be bitten by snakes or physically damaged left no seed. Those who took pleasure
with those helpful behaviors and eventually survived were related utility and pleasure and displeasure with detrimental.
This explains the origin of the usefulness of the qualia of pleasure. But not its presence.
In this illustration and pre-existing awareness and qualia but even useless. And that was if they were not useful, and if so, where were they?
ORIGIN OF THE MIND MATTERS RELATED
Certainly there is a relationship between tangible and intangible entities, we can experience we decided to move the arm (qualia) and move it.
We can taste the coffee and feel the taste, alongside a series of neurochemical reactions will tour our brain and nerves.
immaterial whether these entities have been created by evolution or have been used by the mechanism of the body materials? (As the beaver uses wood floating in the river) What would that existed in their environment. Outside the living body
ELCUERPO
QUANTUM AS A PUPPET
How we move the arm because of our will?
all know the phenomenon of collapse of wave function of Schrödinger
In a totipotency states to one state passes through what is known as others interpret as consciousness. Could be at this point that consciousness and / or willingness to choose a behavior or another and link mind and body, something like what Descartes called the pineal gland. Although the most interesting problem is not the place, but how.
ANSWER TO QUESTION (HYPOTHESIS): 1 .-
the qualia the pleasure was soon separated from the useful behaviors. 2 .-
qualia is a time of independent existence of living beings.
3.-The relationship explains how useful pleasure of consciousness is not its appearance. 4 .-
Consciousness and qualia of pleasure have been useful in life independently. 5.-
since qualia and consciousness are only quality material: duration, it may be time to try to form or rather they belong to a category of time is only one case. Here we must pause to consider whether the qualia of the time (the experience) or the physical time that occurs independent of us (the clocks that measure.) 6 .-
the qualia could exist outside the bodies of living beings. 7 .-
can not tell which is qualia and consciousness in material terms. Evolutionary theory should include intangible terms to explain subjective consciousness and life, which already exceeds the current science and philosophy, it may be instead a meta-philosophy of scientific ontology. FIN
Of the molecules of my body numb, as dead as the other molecules in the world, appeared I do not know how-something capable of living over time. But not like a watch that measures only, without feeling what it measures, but as a consciousness that lives his future. (Pp Thecnetos 5)
