Roger Penrose Struggling To Explain Consciousness

This videos nicely shows the crude attempts some of the best scientists are making at understanding consciousness:

It's like watching a retarded child trying to solve a Rubik's Cube.

I found it entertaining and sad at the same time.


You are God. You are Truth. You are Love. You are Infinity.

What if science manages to build robots with self awareness and Consciousness identical to our human awareness?  

What would be your response to that?

Science can never create consciousness. Consciousness creates science

I know that's your outlook on it and Leo's as well. It's just a hypothetical question.   Just suppose that happened.. What would that mean to our understanding of Consciousness?.  If you take someone from 3000 years ago and showed them our technology right now and how you can talk to someone on a different country and see them and even record the conversation so that you can replay it forever.. He would think that's utterly impossible and mystical. Yet here we are!

You would never know they are conscious since you cant step in their shoes. A rock could be Einstein for all you know. 


Dont look at me! Look inside!

Humans don’t have awareness.

I doubt it will ever happen. The biological creature is most likely needed for inner subjective experience

They are trying to solve it from the point of view of understanding what happens when consciousness ceases during anesthesia. I'm sure even if they would figure it all out and be satisfied with an answer, mystics won't be satisfied

It's like asking what if this kid gets full high grades this semester?  Just what "if"? And all your expectations were false about him? 

And you guys are like "no way he is a loser he will fail like always. Trust me. I know".   

You refuse to even entertain the possibility. That's OK btw. To each his own.

This kind of mindset leads to nihilism. We really play by the rules, don't we? :D

Understanding emerges from reality. Reality is always larger than understanding, necessarily. How can a finite understanding ever capture an infinite reality?

Make whatever you want out of this. Nihilism, solipsism, cynicism, Hinduism, Bahaism. It doesn't matter. You'll still be trapped in your mind wondering why there isn't an exit, until you exit.

I have just realized that you're not any different than materialists. You say "it's infinite consciousness and we're are (playing by its rules)... just be". How can that lead to evolution? Are you aware that we're not the only evolved species in this entire Universe? You're stuck in this Buddha mindset and that's not going to help anyone. I have been there and I'm tired. It's time for a change.

You're still trapped into your mindset thinking that you're this body living in 2020. If you can move a chair, why can't you manipulate reality so that you can travel in the future? Because you have no clue, that's why!

I can't move a chair.

But either way, relax. This attitude is not the healthiest one to have.
