How would you retain your consciousness?
I'm not asking you to prove that you can, but what lead you to this belief, and how do you think this could work?
I believe that all quantities, have qualities associated with them. Qualities are, in principle, inaccessible through quantitative means. For example, brains have minds, but you can't tell that by looking at them.
This must be true of all matter.
How would consciousness come from inanimate matter? It makes no sense that consciousness wasn't inherent. All matter
must be "conscious" in some kind of way. The tricky thing is defining the word.
