If it's possible to understand how to arrive at somethingness "out of" nothingness through the Peano axioms of mathematical induction, then it shouldn't be any more difficult to use the same inductive process to imagine consciousness without physicality, starting with the base case of pure awareness of self, i.e., "cogito ergo sum."
>>16839965>it's another 80 IQ "the additive identity is nothing" thread
>>16839965That's not the real juicy question. The real question is, what is the relationship between consciousness and physicality?Is consciousness somehow an emergent product of observered phenomena?Or are all phenomena somehow an emergent product of consciousness?This is the age old contention between Physicalism and Idealism, between /sci/ and /x/.
