Consciousness

unfalsifiable nonsense
it's a problem in philosophy, not in science

it's a very real problem. consciousness exists and we have no way to fit it in our current framework of understanding.

understanding of WHAT? what kind of understanding?

this is absolutely unrelated to science. it's a problem in philosophy.

>yfw free will doesn't actually exist as you are a slave to hormones, stimuli, and your subconscious

science tries to explain or model nature. consciousness is a natural phenomenon.

>understanding of WHAT
understanding of how the universe works

how is it a problem of philosophy?

science doesn't "explain nature". science gives falsifiable models that correspond to the locality of current observations

something as broad and ill-defined as "how the universe works" is completely inside philosophy, just as something as broad and ill-defined as "consciousness".

but we can come up with theories of how consciousness arises and we can test them. that makes them falsifiable right?

consciousness is also not ill-defined.

you can't come up with theories of how something as ill defined as consciousness "arises"

not falsifiable, scientific theories

if you think so, mate. you're clearly being dogmatic here and there's no use arguing with you.

>I can assert things without any shred of evidence but if you do so you're being dogmatic
then fuck off if there's no use
