What we do understand tells us a few interesting things... Most of the conclusions that we reach about our sensory information, are reached during the processing of the sensory data itself, before we have had a chance to consciously consider those conclusions, this pre-processing is done by layers of neural networks, each acting as a filter that looks for specific information in the sensory data as it processes it. For example... If I show you a very large, green balloon that is covered in white polka dots and filled with helium, you can disern all those attributes just with the act of looking, without making a single conscious thought. In fact you will disern multiple attributes at the exact same time ( not one at a time, like conscious thoughts). It is the same for faces that you recognize, you do not consciously compare their attributes to those you remember, your neural networks do that for you. This understanding is why we now have such good image/voice recognition from artificial neural networks. From what we can tell, some decisions are also made unconsciously and are then followed by the conscious mind making the same decision shorty after, but again we don't know how it works, we also know of situations where we go from unconscious decision to unconscious reaction, bypassing the conscious mind all together. We are not even close to understanding consciousness or emotions, or even memory... That is why we are constantly trying different archetecture for ai, right now I am training a3c with lstm trying to unlock the secrets of nature, because the truth is... we are just guessing. |

More harken to thought/feeling receivers perhaps... So which variable would you presume we would have any control of? |

Quoting: Ulijah We cannot confirm where any of these originate yet the majority boast as if we are the creator or or originator of ideas... Perhaps we are vessels akin to instruments. We cannot confirm that which flows thru us is of our own accord. Perhaps an individuals level of consciousness is a gift... If everything is truly predestined, fate, or will of a creator, than surely we are bound to what’s given to us in every facet and aspect. What if we are just aware, consciousness itself... Each born to play a different tune, to play a part in the show. Whatever we think of ourselves as ego beings can surely change in a blink of an eye given the change of emotion, circumstance or thought... Reality is whatever we perceive it to be and what we perceive is bound to the same driving forces... Free will is the only reality, determinism is an illusion meant to keep you from acting on your own innate potential |
