The More You Study Consciousness, the Weirder It Gets

Ezra Klein (noted for being a "political commentator" [1]), talks about a book from Michael Pollan (noted for being a "an American journalist, specializing in food" [2]) on the topic of consciousness.

Nothing to see here folks.

> We don’t know what it’s made of. We don’t know how it works. We don’t know why it exists. And the closer we look at it, the weirder it gets. The more we try to describe it, the more our language begins to fail.

Consciousness is the inflection of the potential of existential being.

Our language and modern ideas are inadequate to understand the economy and accuracy of this one revealing sentence.

Firstly, modern information theory has led us to believe a lie, a lie that propagates into science and all so influenced intellectualism.

“information” or “state” is not the fundamental essence of existential being. Potential resolving into state is the fundamental essence of existential being. Information or state resolves through constructive and destructive interference of potential in the “moment of now.” And such a “reading” as anyone who does anything practical knows begins to decay and disassociate from reality immediately at “some rate” (depending on the nature of the reading.) This said, as a fundamental concept, “potential” not “states” are the underlying influence of reality.

Potential is bound by all particulate of reality, such particulate are stable discrete locally bound packets of “potential.” We call this the quantum domain.

Spin disposition is not the most information dense characteristic of quantum potential. The quantum potential is a holographic vector space, the problem is accessing that space. Our brains are biotechnology which emerged from this holographic potential through a billion years of revisions, rather than the other way around. Our intelligence emerges from the nature of “potential distribution” and constructive and destructive interference, not linear state interpretation as modern understanding suggests.

Awareness is not consciousness. Awareness is the tip of consciousness. Parts of the brain provide a feedback loop propagation allowing linear and compositional awareness.

Intelligence and all of the other things our minds do are technological advancements. Individual minds to whole species vary in nuances of this technology, producing widely varying capacities across control groups.

Consciousness is literally the universe peering back upon itself. Consciousness is the quantum echo chamber the technology of life animates through our particular biotechnology. The mechanics or end capacities may vary for achieving similar results.

We will understand this better through quantum holography rather than qubits, which I assert are a dead end.

Our sense of self and what conventionalists think their consciousness is, is a holographic echo in the lattice of our neural feedback. The popular word “qualia” could be used to describe this part specifically.

Consciousness is the vibrational perturbation of the quantum domain, propagated and manipulated through the neural feedback mechanisms. An echo chamber for our senses, including “awareness.” We are of consciousness even while not conscious.
