@Conan_Edodawah @worldviewdesign @JoelMCurzon He’s just going to equivocate no matter what I produce. First he said “any consciousness” arising from brain activity. Now he’s saying something like “global unconscious to conscious” from brain activity. I have a life.

@ChrisDaniels_TV @komonews Yesterday saw open air crack/fentanyl use by homeless zombies in the “nice” part downtown near Waterfront by the federal office building. It’s gotten noticeably worse since World Cup left town.

@worldviewdesign @JoelMCurzon You said evidence of “any consciousness” arising from brain activity. I provided a controlled physical intervention where the subjects reported a novel conscious experience following brain activity induced by stimulation of the temporal cortex. You’re now equivocating.

@worldviewdesign @JoelMCurzon Its location is in your head. At what other location could you be conscious? The out of body experience evidence is very poor. I gave you a controlled study where scientists changed conscious perception of faces by stimulating certain brain areas. I met your challenge.

@worldviewdesign @limitandmind @JoelMCurzon The researchers sent an electrical current into a precisely located face-processing region of the brain. Immediately afterward, the person’s conscious visual experience changed: facial features appeared distorted, cartoon-like, moving, or replaced. nature.com/articles/s4146…

@CounterApologis @TheOutsiderHum1 I can concede there’s an epistemic gap but reject a metaphysical gap.

@limitandmind @worldviewdesign @JoelMCurzon No. He needs to define what would meet the criteria. Because I suspect he’s going to apply some kind of idiosyncratic unfalsifiable standard to whatever I produce.

@CounterApologis @TheOutsiderHum1 I’m not convinced it matters what type of physicalist you are. A priori conceivability arguments don’t imply metaphysical possibility.

@worldviewdesign @JoelMCurzon What observable result would count as evidence of consciousness arising from brain activity on your definition?

@JoelMCurzon For the theists or the theist leaning, there’s a kind of dunning Krueger effect with the argument I think. If you don’t really look under the hood it sounds powerful and let’s just leave it at that.
