>>12059041nice summary, although I agree with others that you could add a: we don't know ""yet""
>>12059578>The most logical conclusion I can reach about consciousness is that subjectivity and objectivity are two sides of the same coin - you can't have one without the other. A decent analogy is that you can't have a shape without color - just doesn't make sense. In this vein of thinking, the entire universe is having some kind of base-level subjective experience; the more complex the physical structure, the more complex the conscious experience.I agree, responding to OP question the implication is:
conciouness is not a quality that we humans "brought in to the universe" but that the universe already "contained" this capability
phenomena and the conciousness observing that phenomena can not be separated, both depend on each other, inter-related, because the universe itself "is made" that way.
thats why it would be elusive to understand from a pure mechanistic point of view like science is trying to do, it is not just the evolution and ordering of a bunch of neurons, conciouness is already part of the universe itself, is not that humans "evolved to create conciousness" but the subtlety of the matter is that the universe aready has the capability and humans in a way "evolve to copy from that" ""are made in his image""
