    Please explain how

    Why the fuck would I do that? We don’t know how. We do know it’s literally the only shit in there, so SOMEhow, those impulses cause consciousness.

    “Can you explain why gravity attracts things? No? Aha, I have proved you are wrong about gravity existing!”

      Oof calm down man. Breathe. Also, your gravity analogy works against you.

      In the gravity analogy, someone would be claiming they understand 100% of what makes up gravity, “it’s the curvature of space time. That’s it. Job done. Go home quantum theorists”

      If electrical signals are all that is required to give rise to consciousness, then a computer would be conscious. But since it’s obviously not, there’s a big gap there. One that is so far inexplicable. And yet you’re drawing conclusions about it.

      Shouting about it doesn’t do anything.

        Nah. You fucks went there. The initial comment was just “it’s electrical impulses”. You blowhards all came rushing in pretending he had said “I HAVE DISCOVERED HOW TO CREATE CONSCIOUSNESS! I AM A GENIUS AND MASTER OF SCIENCE!”

        In this analogy, he said “gravity: stuff attracts other stuff” and you dumbshits go “ACKSHUALLY”

        But ackshually he’s right. Stuff attracts other stuff. Consciousness is electrical impulses in the brain. We don’t know the details, but we know the big picture.

        Shouting about it doesn’t do anything.

        Shouting and cursing emphasizes how stupid y’all are, and how ridiculous it is that you’re pretending to be smart.
