"Physicalism is dead" — article in Psychology Today

[Carl-Richard]

An article in such a mainstream magazine that mentions Bernardo Kastrup. Interesting development.

Marc Wittmann Ph.D.

Physicalism Is Dead

Alternative views on the mind-body problem are becoming increasingly popular.

Key points

• The reductionist physicalist position entails that phenomenal consciousness does not exist.
• Scientists increasingly realize that phenomenal consciousness can't be explained by the workings of the brain.
• For idealism, subjectivity undeniably has primacy when it comes to knowledge about ourselves and the world.
• For dual-aspect monism, consciousness and the brain are two different aspects of a same underlying reality

This is great that science is seeing through its limiting faulty paradigms. Carl ,you know how many posts I've made about the relationship between consciousness and the brain 😂..more than my posts on solipsism...

 I think of it like this ..The brain can't be generating your experience.. What you call "the brain" is itself an experience.. You can't say that this" piece of meat" is what is causing experience because that piece of meat IS an experience. 

Ponder this.... What should be generating the experience from outside can't be an experience . It becomes strange loop. The brain which is an appearance in consciousness generated consciousness which is itself!!!! In both cases there is a mysterious fucking thing there that was generated by nothing.  

Nothing found inside of your experience can be the cause of your experience from outside. Just like if you are playing a video game... The cause of the entire video game world which is the PS device can't be found inside the video game world. 

It's like looking at your own body with a microscope.. Sure you will find some cells and atoms in there.. But those themselves are phenomenon within your experience aka consciousness.. You can't say that atoms or brains are generating consciousness.. Because atoms an brains ARE consciousness.
