wtf dude chill. I really do think that science should be studied and be taken as a sort of authority and philosophy should complement, but not replace science. This question about consciousness is really important because before I used to think that there could be a philosophical answer to this question, but I was wrong. I had gone through some really bad times and I kept asking myself about this question of consciousness to the point of almost obsession trying to find a way and observing my own consciousness just to realize that philosophy simply cannot answer this question yet, and unfortunately I didn't study neuroscience that could have given me an answer to what I was going through and what I had felt. Consciousness itself, specially the hard problem is way out of the reach of science but a ton of things like how consciousness is altered by substances and neuropsychology shed light into a multitude of questions about consciousness and it really was a shame that I didn't study it and take it into account before studying the philosophy of consciousness. When regarding this topic I think that being too philosophically inclined and not taking into account new advances into neuroscience is being really short-sighted and even arrogant. Stop it.

I found this great fucking project of
learning philosophy and it looks fucking amazing. Do any of you fags have a folder with all of the books downloaded? That would be fucking awesome.
