Functions of consciousness

Hi, I saw your post here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Hard_problem_of_consciousness. What do you mean by functions of consciousness? Isn't the mainstream view consciousness is epiphenomenal? Yet I heard Christof Koch say something about functions and he doesn't believe in free will. The obvious problem is with any use you can think of for consciousness, it can be done without and would take less energy. Imo I don't even know what consciousness is doing there, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_the_Headless_Chicken and planarian worms cut in half, life can get along just fine without consciousness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Money is tight (talk • contribs) 13:26, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Money is tight, Ned Block's distinction between phenomenal consciousness and access consciousness seems relevant here. Phenomenal consciousness is "what it is like to be you" (as Thomas Nagel put it), the experience; access consciousness is the neural basis of that experience. All parts of the brain have functions (whether or not these are essential for life), as is known from studies of brain lesions, so access consciousness has a function—virtually everyone in the field agrees on this. Mike the Headless Chicken still had the part of his brainstem needed to stay alive (according to the article you linked to), but no doubt lost the (non-essential) functions associated with the rest of his brain. Depending whether consciousness is connected to the brainstem, he may or may not have still been conscious. Roughly speaking, when Chalmers talks about the easy problems of consciousness (those that concern the functions of consciousness) he is talking about access consciousness, whereas when he talks about the hard problem of consciousness he is talking about phenomenal consciousness. For the record, epiphenomenalism is a form of dualism and not the mainstream view, which would be reductive materialism (according to which phenomenal consciousness is access consciousness described in a different way). For example see here. (For what it's worth in my opinion reductive materialism actually entails panpsychism, for reasons David Papineau has articulated. But that's not the norm within reductive materialism.)

Anyway, as much as I like talking about these things, I do want to clarify: in what way (if any) do you think the issue affected my edits on the hard problem of consciousness page? Since really that is the point of a Wikipedia talk page. Gazelle55 (talk) 21:13, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying, I didn't know about access consciousness. Imo access consciousness has nothing to do with what consciousness usually means, it can be easily conceived to be explained in material terms since it's just input-output. I think panpsychism is indeed the only way to go, dualism (property or substance) does not resolve the hard problem at all, idealism is a bit out there. I don't understand how mainstream view is that access consciousness=phenomenal, it's clear with the current understanding of what is a physical system phenomenal consciousness is not part of the picture, like how magnetic fields is not part of the picture in Newtonian mechanics so it had to be added as an extra ingredient, so I'd have to disagree with you there as my impression is that epiphenomenalism is the mainstream view. As for your edits, I just wanted to ask you about this question and you perfectly answered me, sorry if I'm using wikipedia as a forum. You can delete this message if you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Money is tight (talk • contribs) 19:09, 8 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Money is tight, nice to meet a fellow panpsychist. :-) No worries, I worded that more bluntly than I meant to. And actually, the point about epiphenomenalism is important to the hard problem page since I didn't cover it in much depth in the "Proposed solutions" section, but if it is the mainstream view it deserves more. Who would you says are examples of contemporary epiphenomenalists? I only know of Frank Jackson, but he changed his mind over 15 years ago. I have heard Robert Wright say epiphenomenalism is the mainstream view, but it isn't his area of expertise and you can see here (at around 9:00, and esp. around 12:45) that even Chalmers disagrees and says reductive materialism is the most common view. Personally I agree with what you're saying about consciousness being fundamental, but I don't think that means it isn't physical—it just means the nature of the physical is different than we intuitively feel. Galen Strawson makes that point much better than I could here. Most reductive physicalists use the inverse strategy and say phenomenal consciousness, while perfectly real, is different than we intuitively feel (see phenomenal concept strategy). They would say that when you write it's clear phenomenal consciousness isn't part of the physical picture, that's just an inaccurate intuition we've evolved to have. Not endorsing that, just trying to say it is the most common view and that it is different from epiphenomenalism. Gazelle55 (talk) 21:07, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's funny, out of all my reading I had the strong impression epiphenomenon is the mainstream view... But obviously Chalmers knows the area far better and I must of got things wrong. Christof Koch, Francis Crick, the 2 who broke the taboo to talk about consciousness, both believe in epiphenomenal of consciousness, a lot of articles I read also supported this view. And yes I've listened to Strawson a lot, I fully agree with him our perception of "physical" is wrong. QM has already disproven the billiard ball solid stuff material view, and current theory is that all matter are excitation of the respective fundamental fields so what's physical is already far removed from our original intuition. I believe QM and consciousness are so weird - as both cannot be explain by the usual billiard ball Newtonian view of the universe - is because they are symptoms of a bigger problem, namely what exactly is "physical material". However there's still an issue of 1st person vs 3rd person with consciousness, merely assuming a naive panpsychism does not resolve this because properties are in the 3rd person, I think the hard problem doesn't just plague billiard ball materialism it also plagues panpsychism and substance dualism. I cannot understand how most reductionists adhere to thinking access consciousness=phenomenal, all physical systems are described using functions in some space containing all possible states, with laws (i.e. diff equations or Lagrangians) constraining what the functions are allowed to be, you're not gonna get the color of red out of this ever, full stop. This merely tells us the current understanding of physical is wrong, what Strawson has been saying for years. I get very frustrated by this tbh, they literally refuse to admit the emperor is naked. But a revolution in physics is needed before anyone can make progress towards consciousness... Roger Penrose hopefully will come up with something... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Money is tight (talk • contribs) 22:48, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Crick and Koch definitely deserve to be mentioned on the epiphenomenalism page and perhaps the hard problem page if we can find a source for that. Could you link to one? Quantum mechanics is certainly something else and I imagine you know a lot more about it than I do. Since I have you here—I've been working on the panpsychism page including the part on quantum mechanics, and it mentions Noam Chomsky says a revolution in physics may be needed to solve the question of consciousness—do you know more about what he's said? He definitely deserves at least a full sentence on the page. On the other hand I tend towards Chalmers' view that even a revised physics will still only describe structure and dynamics (i.e., functions) so cannot solve the 1st person/3rd person issue. To me that is a philosophical issue. I agree that panpsychism doesn't resolve it either, since it is open to a dualist interpretation (where functional physical properties are separate from intrinsic experiential properties/natures) or a monist/physicalist interpretation (where the functional properties really are the experiential properties, my tentative view). Maybe you have a different reason for feeling the hard problem applies to panpsychism, though (as always if you have a source would be great for the panpsychism article). As for the intuition that the color red can never be reduced to functions, I feel it just like you do (indeed, very strongly), and I used to follow it to a broadly dualist conclusion, but I've come to think that like all our other intuitions it shouldn't be trusted. I've been influenced by Susan Blackmore lately who takes arguments similar to Dennett's about consciousness not being as it seems but uses them to support panpsychism. That said, it would be interesting to see what authors you've read on your side of the question cause they could be added to the relevant articles regardless of whether I agree.

Islamic attitudes towards science

I noticed your work there (a significant improvement), thank you very much. When looking at the Quran scientific predictions claims, I also reminded of WP:FALSEBALANCE where it would be possible not to separate the section in pro/criticism. But after a second read I think that the balance is overall acceptable, because of the way the arguments are toned. —Paleo Neonate – 07:06, 16 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, PaleoNeonate, I totally agree that the "scientific miracles in the Quran" thesis shouldn't be represented as a matter of serious dispute among scientists. Actually I think the section (and even more so, the Quran and miracles page) still needs to be a lot clearer that the claims have been overwhelmingly rejected by scholars whereas their support comes from popular writers and websites (which don't qualify as WP:RS). Right now the "claims" vs "criticism" sections could be easily misinterpreted as equal "support" vs "criticism". I'll have to find some sources for that, though.

your revert on Baha'i india page

I have reverted your undo on Baha'i India pages, because the Primary source of Information is the Governor's letter. which is the highest office in the State of Maharastra.The Governor has asked for the action to be taken. The Secondary source of reference is the official website of University .There cannot be more profound news than the official website of the university. Jammu58 (talk) 11:09, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jammu58, thanks for your explanation. The governor and the university are both primary sources – a secondary source means one that is one degree removed from the events (usually an academic paper or a news article, see WP:PSTS). And the governor just said "appropriate action," meaning he was leaving it up to the discretion of the university.

But in general I do think a lot of the Baha'i pages on Wikipedia violate WP:NPOV so thanks for helping to clean them up. Gazelle55 (talk) 23:55, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gazelle55" Under secretary to the Governor Dr.S.M. Salunke wrote to the Principal Secretary to the Government Higher and Technical Education Department, which in turn wrote to the Vice Chancellor University of Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University, The Registrar office of the university posted on the official site of the university. I wonder how it is just a Primary source.

Moreover the Governor has taken the action in his capacity by asking the university to take "Appropriate Action" Whether a positive or negative action was taken that shoud'nt be the part of this news. Thanks. Jammu58 (talk) 09:12, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Small footnotes

You might want to check out my sandbox User:Cuñado/sandbox. I leave it to remind myself of how footnotes work. Also Help:Shortened footnotes is useful.

I thought that the pointer to references always grabs the first in line, but maybe that changed. If it wants only one ref to point to, I added the ref={{sfnref|Smith|2008a}} attribute to force the ref in "further reading" to be of the year "2008a" instead of "2008". It won't affect appearance at all and solved the problem. Cuñado ☼ - Talk 20:41, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Cuñado, yes I'll take a look at that before I fix up anymore sfn refs, to make sure it's all done properly. And what you did seems to work so I'll do the same for Stockman. Gazelle55 (talk) 23:27, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please repair the damage you've done to Baháʼí Faith. The article now has multiple citation errors because you've broken the links between the short-form references and the full references. Note for example, that calling a reference 'CNN 2010' doesn't work when there is more than one CNN reference from 2010 and the links from the Sfn templates don't work when the sfnref template in the full citation defines the reference as something else. DrKay (talk) 19:37, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, DrKay, thanks for alerting me to the issue and apologies for the errors it has produced. I was changing them because they were written a format that shows the date as a second author, which was obviously incorrect. I thought I had then fixed them but clearly I was sloppy because I now see several are still not working. I will go through the ones I changed one by one and make sure they all work.

Note also, a part of what was done was to move into footnote bulky explanatory material about normative religious practice that was pasted in, in November 2022 (which is largely off-point, as it related Christian communion practices to entheogenic experience, a connection which is and has been a stretch, apart from clerical abuses, for perhaps 1800 years). I invite you to look in at your convenience, to affirm/correct what you see. Cheers, an educator. 2601:246:C700:F5:A9DE:5AC2:9872:31B9 (talk) 04:15, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
