Oblivious fact: Me

Fun fact: Roasting meat alone does not a Sunday roast make.

Stops carving the Sunday roast and holds off putting the apple crumble in the oven…

But we are one of the most multicultural societies in the world and have long since adopted everyone else’s cuisines.

By this logic the Japanese don’t have curries and the Americans don’t have pizza, or any other food for that matter.

Wow didn’t expect to see Akala already posted here.

This is the correct answer although I think Fire in the Booth Part 4 might even eclipse Part 1 in terms of talent.

Second place for me would be Lowkey. For message Soundtrack to the Struggle 2, for pure ability has to be The Return of Lowkey… Genius bars like a laptop shop.

Yeah never got this. The nation’s favourite dish is curry. My favourite dish is curry. Isn’t it a running joke amongst Indians how much the Brits love curry?

Things like beans on toast and fish finger sandwiches are cheap and easy lunch snacks for students but not our actual diet.

I couldn’t claim to have a definition as the origins of consciousness are still unknown to science and not formally defined.

However your definition is definitely not the widely accepted one. It doesn’t even offer a proper definition, all it does is push the unknowns to “what it is like to be that organism”.

Who defines what it is to “be” something? What is the smallest unit of “being”? Are we saying that consciousness is an inherent property of organisms or could it be recreated on a computer?

Ok, I agree it can’t be an illusion the way you define it, I don’t think that would be an unpopular opinion.

I also maintain that it cannot be defined the way you define it.

Yes my point was that if there was a hypothetical being outside our universe looking in they could correctly say that our consciousness is an illusion from their subjective experience.

It’s an oversimplification because that is not the scientifically accepted definition of consciousness. It is currently undefined and seems to be an emergent property from the brain, the complex object known to us.

If the universe is a simulation then conciousness could be considered an illusion to those outside the simulation. From an internal perspective it wouldnt be an illusion as it’s the only thing that we experience.

However we have trouble even defining what counciousness is (an oversimplified quote from a philosopher doesn’t cover it) so it seems pointless to make such speculative black and white statements about it.
