As Jesus said one great way to enter the Kingdom is through becoming innocent and wondrous like a child. Next we continued with contemplating what it means to be alive and from there we went to even more abstract level of existence and non-being . As it happens at this moment that I'm writing this piece there is a program on public TV about consciousness. I turned the computer on to get a piece of autoracing news and so decided to write the article and also turned the TV on to this channel. For today, let's start with what we mean with consciousness.
Consciousness starts with subjectivity.
I want to start with Des Cartes and his philosophy of doubt. He decided to doubt everything which is doubtable. How would I know that a demon has not somehow fooled me into believing that I have an arm. I would like to explain in today's terminology of virtual reality. What if we were immersed in an ultra real virtual reality universe where our neurons were stimulated by computers to make us think what we think.
