I believe that I can and have explained consciousness.
No one has to believe my hypothesis/paradigm. I don’t mind casting pearls (you can’t take them with you). I believe that if enough people were willing to do research based on my hypothesis/paradigm, it would eventually be borne out to be correct. (Also further advances in neurological technology, particularly in detecting Neural activities, will be helpful.)
I know that Steven is on the wrong track. He keeps trying to add another little internal man to explain his “mysteries”. But the little man cannot. Does that little man need another little man inside him to explain things? That just makes it even more incomprehensible. I wonder whether Steven really wants consciousness to be explained. He seems to want it to remain a “mystery”. And his paradigm choices would likely insure that.
And Steven, I seem to be picking on you. But your rejection of my paradigm is still not out of line with the zeitgeist. I think that will change eventually, because truth tends to eventually rise.
