I Think That Consciousness Has Always Been

Studying Consciousness Tells Us More About How The World Is Fundamentally Strange. I Think We Have A Few Revolutions To Go Yet Before We Get To The Bottom Of It.

Anyway, There Is A Lot Of Really Interesting Work Going On In The Neuroscience And Psychology Of Consciousness, And I Would Love To See Philosophers Become More Closely Involved With This.

How Does The Water Of The Brain Turn Into The Wine Of Consciousness?

Now I Have To Say I'm A Complete Atheist, I Have No Religious Views Myself And No Spiritual Views, Except Very Watered Down Humanistic Spiritual Views, And Consciousness Is Just A Fact Of Life, It's A Natural Fact Of Life.

Actually, I Think My View Is Compatible With Much Of The Work Going On Now In Neuroscience And Psychology, Where People Are Studying The Relationship Of Consciousness To Neural And Cognitive Processes Without Really Trying To Reduce It To Those Processes.
