David Chalmers on Consciousness



That extra-ingredient is an infinitismal point of energy, which is responsible for consciousness phenomenon. This is a reality that is ignored by scientific pursuit.

There has been a major belief in Scientific community that the consciousness is a derivative of biological/neurological process. So they keep investigating these processes. But they don't address as David pointed out why consciousness.

I have been following David from 1995. But from 1990, I was fascinated by the idea of consciousness as a non materialistic phenomenon due to an infinitismal point of energy. When consciousness is manifested, we experience mind, intellect, and memories, talents, etc.

This might be unthinkable for all those who believe in E = mc**2. This seems to be one major error, courtesy Einstein.
Why is that all energy is to do with matter? That is big assumption.

I liked David addressing the issue of consciousness as an exra ingredient.
