Consciousness is perhaps the biggest riddle in nature. In the first part of this three part video series, we explore the origins of consciousness and take a closer look on how unaware things became aware.
This video was made possible by a grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation.

@diddlypinkus1493 Жыл бұрын
My guess is that consciousness formed as an improved feedback system. It is a lot easier for an organism to approach or avoid certain circumstances if it has tools that span beyond that of automatic processes. The ability to think and reason does a lot to help ensure the survival and quality of life of an individual. It also helps one make sense of the environment around oneself rather than just existing and relying on automatic functions
@itachis2gaming882 9 ай бұрын
Yea definitely just the results of millions of years of trail and error. My theory is we don’t even develop consciousness until we grow older as kids after we have processed enough data about the world. Like a video game that makes you level up to learn new skills or develop the skill you have to be more refined.

But if it's just a complex mechanism like in a comouter, how are we intrinsicly aware of it. In your view there is literally no difference between a complex organism calculatiung sensory input without having an acutual consciousness to an actual conscious being. I think you are confusting consciousness with self reflexion an complex thought. But a very good computer could have the same thoughts without being conscious at all.

@@jumpforcegawd2700 it doesn't. Oviously due to evalution having anouther human with more experince look after new born while it develops its mind proved to be benificieal in terms of survival. Since allowing the brain to develop based on its experience after birth allows for a greater understanding of the world as the human grows up. Instead of having a mind that is purley determined by genes alone. Instead of having to wait for eeveloution to catch up with making a more complex mind, the mind can just learn on its own without evelution. The mind noe has the ability to adapt to new and diffrent situations. The amazing side affect being the counciousnedd and... well you know... basically what we are today. But i do wounder if there is higher level of counciounes thst we have not reached... is it possible to have maximum counciousness? What would thst be like? I do feel as if i could be more aware of things. And when you have counciousnesd and survival suddenly becomes a lot more easier.... suddenly you get more objectives than just surving and reproducing.

@EidolonSpecus 2 жыл бұрын
@@heliveruscalion9124 Yes of course. Sentience is the ability to have conscious experiences and make intentional choices. Basically all animals have this as long as they have the ability to sense and to have intentionality at all, it is not based on any specific number or acuity of the senses one has access to (for example, blind or autistic people are just as sentient as people who can see or who are neurotypical, contrary to what we used to think a few decades ago). Sapience, on the other hand, is having wisdom, or prescriptive knowledge, the ability to reflect on the value of one's choices and experiences, either past, present or future; it is to some extent an acquired trait, humans are merely born with the necessary conditions to develop sapience; for example, newborn human babies are not sapient yet, but will gradually develop it and expand this capacity through reflecting on their experiences. It is arguable that members of some other species have potential for developing sapience as well; like rats which pass empathy-behavior tests, parrots, most whales, etc.

I like the approach of building up from simpler forms of consciousness to more complex ones. There's an element of sensory integration worth perhaps touching on more, in that input from vision, smell, taste, touch, etc. need to be bundled together by the brain and integrated into a higher level sense of what's going on within and around you (this function being grounded in human neuroanatomy, in particular). But that's a minor detail. Overall a really excellent video and approach.

Great video! I can attest to the issues of unhealthy veganism. Back when I was in the midst of a drug addiction that happened after I had been a relatively healthy vegan I was living on instant noodles and breakfast cereal. I was just eating noodles with the powdered flavour sachet cooked with boiled water and no additional veggies, no vitamins, and no supplements. I lost a lot of weight and was constantly becoming unwell. Prior to that I had been consuming a vegan diet, supplements, vitamins, and I lost weight in a healthy manner with a few months, I felt great all the time and energised every day. It’s easy when you are feeding yourself and can work towards a good well-rounded diet. After tackling my addiction and trying to regain weight I stopped a vegan diet and after a couple of years my cholesterol went wayyyyyy up and I have been working to reduce it since. I’m a vegetarian now, borderlining on vegan and starting to feel healthier once again. It takes work and you need to listen to your body!!!

There are other impetus for consciousness than food.

Then it needs mechanisms to ensure the guardian mechanisms function properly, then mechanisms to watch the watchers. An eventual level of consciousness emerges as a result.

An interesting observation is that while looking for food some structures and paths are created. For example the eye structure is developed to give the owner a greater surviving advantage. On other profound level mathematics or ethics give advantages in other arenas. In conclusion is the side effect of a survival skill what makes interesting the evolution.

The way we’re talking about consciousness here sounds more specifically like conscious awareness, the part of our consciousness we can work with and know about explicitly. Consciousness itself would be something even beyond this. We don’t know what we don’t know, so it’s impossible to know at this time just how expansive consciousness actually is. The assumption that it is endogenously produced is an interesting and maybe not totally true assumption.

Will my consciousness transfer to another being once my body dies? Am I the only being conscious, and everything else just operates automatically like a robot?

This is probably one of the best and simplest ways to describe how conscious came to be! Never thought of it this way but it makes sense in theory. Consciousness came about as a needs to survive and better equip ourselves for our surroundings. We needed to see our food, we needed to be mindful of timing and planning, and so on and so forth until consciousness flowered into something today. A heightened sense of consciousness where we are able to question who we are etc. It is like a blessing and a curse.

Then, a consciousness C looks at and tries to figure out consciousness B, etc., etc., etc., all the way to Z and beyond. There is no "outside-consciousness" perspective. That's the mystery. That's the wonder. That's where God comes in. Infinite. Eternal. Boundless. We never get to the bottom of it. We never get outside of it.

@@ThreeBeeHDb Objectively there are no "walls" in the sense of limits to the universe, but subjectively there are 3 "walls" in one's vision. Unless you're approaching a black hole; you could, in theory, see the back of your head in a situation like that. Edit: the back of*

5:22 That makes a lot of sense when you consider that game we play with babies where we hide ourselves and see their reactions. Interestingly, this game only really has an effect on them when they're in the early stages of developing their consciousness, and they rarely form permanent memories at this age. Perhaps, much like how we can observe things like our vestigial tails disappearing during the fetal stage, we could learn the most about consciousness by observing the brain's development between the ages of it first forming and adult maturity?

I mean, there are other hiding and popping out games that don't involve hiding behind ones hands and saying "Peekaboo", so I think their comment still works.

It also makes you wonder just how large something has to be to have basic consciousness. Flies definitely remember and detect/consider danger. So do very tiny bugs. If an ant or an aphid can think, just how small can minds / consciousness be? Can a cell think? Does it have any awareness of the environment around it? Bacteria do. They seek out other bacteria and exchange genetic information to better defend themselves. They share resources with the ones on the edge to better protect the colony, even when of totally different types. They build biofilm walls. Considering all of the parallels to what we ourselves build, do bacteria "think"? They obviously have no concept of what "we" are. We are too big, and we live too long relative to them. A example to consider of similar scope - it would be like if galaxies or suns shot radiation at each other to communicate, over millions of years. We'd have no way to detect it, no way to collect info on it since we do not live long enough - but we can ponder it. Can a sun be alive? In that same way, does a bacteria wonder if the world that it lives in is alive? Probably not. Probably needs more neurons. But you never know. Genetics are an excellent way to share information. Perhaps there is an innate genetic language founded by the laws of the universe that such tiny creatures use, because it is there?
