Comments by "" (@tekannon7803) on "How consciousness arises from the brain | Nick Lane and Lex Fridman" video.

Lex has turned us on to a very good writer: Nick Lane. Nick, forgive us for taking a whack at a subject you have spent a great deal of your career investigating. Here is my take on consciousness purely from an intuitive sense. Consciousness is what I believe could be called an invisible membrane that holds all the moving parts of the mind in place like the membrane of a simple place that allows all the parts of a cell to operate freely in factory-mode in a protected environment. But unlike a cell, conscious brain function to communicate with eachother via a wireless technology of a sort. It’s nature’s way of providing a communication system necessary to the brain for its role in thinking and coming to conclusions and taking decisions etc. Consciousness is guided by feelings which are its intuitive brain. As feelings are unique to every human being, it might explain why everyone has a different view on what consciousness really is. The ‘membrane’ of consciousness is nature at its best in coming up with a solution for making the thinking process work in 4 dimensions. Like in a human cell, this ethereal invisible net-like membrane holds all the key elements of the human brain together so that they can function togehter and separately at will. To recap: Consciousness in the human mind permits all the necessary parts of the brain to be able to link up via ‘wireless technology’ and not neurons or cells etc. Imagine it like a hologram where all the links that govern the functions of the mind have an invisible command center and can communicate with each other instantaneously. This is Mother Nature’s way of allowing the brain to be able to make the 400 decisions it has to do every second for the human body to function and survive. Consciousness is the relay switch that allows all of these precious and vital functions to be able to be surveyed and controlled and repaired 24/7. The invisible membrane allows all of the mental capacities like feelings, thinking, dreaming and emotions to operate in harmony; consciousness probably gets downtime and recharged every night by the mind going into dream-mode.

@ransizzles GGGGGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. You certainly could have things right. My second thoughts on things is that I believe consciousness is like the air or what permeates the universe, think of it like the air we breathe. Time is the blood of the universe. Our brains and every living thing tunes into consciousness depending on the size of our brains and father time starts ticking the moment we are in life. A fly would tune into the consciousness and recieve basic instructions on what to do about getting food i.e., how to live.

@pixxburgh420 GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. I think all of my ex-wives would disagree with you--seriously, it is one of the most fascinating subjects and every single person has their own idea. While we're on the subject of new ideas, I have invented an alternative economic system and my book The Treatise of Teknomix outlines it----and I am sure that the reaction will be similar to yours. It's my idea of how to replace capitalism with a more equitable economic model--
