Lately, “woke” is an adjective used with disdain by right wing, conservative, Christian nationalists to describe any perspective remotely associated with liberal, progressive ideology.

Most of the time, you are lost in thought (like you are in a dream) Waking Up refers to being in the present

The hard problem is not the inability to define consciousness, rather it’s the inability to explain consciousness via physical processes.

@@Williamwilliam1531 That means it is very likely and predated quantum events. We could say that what emerges with quantum events in contrast is elemental.

⁠@@ALavin-en1kr the (potentially temporary) failure of physical processes to exhaustively explain the existence of conscious experiences is deeply inadequate to conclude that consciousness precedes quantum events. That’s like saying - because no description of the atmosphere today can tell you whether or not it will be raining here on this day ten years from now, weather patterns are fundamental and must precede quantum events. No one could ever prove you wrong in either case, and if you were right it would change nothing about our mechanistic understanding of the world, nor would the revelation be able to make predictions about the future. So believe that if you like, but it’s an untestable, predictively inert hypothesis that seriously lacks good evidence for its truth

Waking up would likely mean not seeing the elements and forces as not fundamental to reality, just to physical reality. In physical reality could be included anything that is elemental and that likely would include mind; all forces; all elements. It would be whatever emerged with quantum events. What did not emerge with quantum events but predated them would be fundamental. The only thing that would fit that description would be consciousness. As it cannot be reduced or measured, is not elemental, or owes any debt to the elemental it must predate it. The elemental creating the non-elemental would not make sense, out of what would it create it?

You can build awareness of your liver and spleen, pancreas, thyroid?

@@cymatti We know it can go as far as the heart, possibly lungs, possibly others. There was that great study done with the monks who were put in a freezer (willingly, obviously), and were able to literally raise their body temperature in order to keep themselves comfortable. They used thermal imaging cameras and (I believe) traditional thermometers. However, even being able to do this at all, is absolutely remarkable. So, personally, it seems less far-fetched. I think that line about the pancreas was just a funny bit of rhetorical work, because for the general person, it holds true. But with enough focus? We are only just starting to scratch the surface of what is possible.

hehe hi proto.. It’s from those ancient 2016 Twitch streams. I did ask you at the time if it was OK I downloaded them and you said yes But if you want it taken down just let me know

@@FutureAbe no idc just wondered how this arrived online lmao

@@Arnaud57915 👍 I still have all those streams in full. :) Shitty quality, but still..

@@FutureAbe all of them?

@@Arnaud57915 I don’t know if it’s all of them, but I just checked and I have 7 streams from 2016

Of course not. Why would you think that? “Abe” as in “Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee”.

I actually don’t know. It was an accident
