Consciousness

We are always fully conscious, even when asleep. The reason it seems we are unconscious is that we are not forming memories while asleep.
This is why you sometimes remember being awake seconds before something wakes you up.

[Anonymous No.14555445]

>>14553458
Because consciousness isn't a "thing." Its a function of our brain receiving more sensory signals from one aspect of our senses. If you see something colorful, "the consciousness" would be on that. If you hear something strange, "the consciousness" would be on that.

You can do the same thing by creating a mesh of pipes with water flowing through them. If you have the same flow rate/pressure from the hose, you get a steady rate. If one of the pipe has much higher water pressure, that will dominate the direction of the end flow rate.

So in context, "uninterrupted" consciousness cannot exist for more than few seconds/minutes at best. The brain will automatically move to the next strongest signal it receives from our senses. Unless you're in a sensory depravation tank or some quiet place where you could meditate without moving so much. Then you can experience "uninterupted" consciousness for more than few minutes at a time.
In our normal daily lives, there is no such thing as "uninterupted" consciousness. Interrupts are part of how we deal with changing reality. More so its necessary to deal with dynamic environments as a way to survive against threats.

[Anonymous No.14555469]

I think that existence is a purely physical phenomena that is not tied to a single existence. With all the existential questions of cloning someone, I think it would be viable and would work. Why I think that? Because there is nothing to make your consciousness unique, or tie it to a single existence. And so, if physically replicated, you would still live and experience as that clone. Just as sleeping and waking up, you would die and seamlessly live as the clone with all the memories the clone has, because your entire consciousness and existence is defined by physical patterns.

When you truly die, I believe you will just get reborn. Without any memories and all, but just live as another person or whatever being there happens to be with the same "neural architecture" that we have that allows such advanced levels of self-referential awareness.

How can you be so certain? What if I told you I know of a way to not only retain your conscious thoughts while asleep, but be self aware you're doing it and able to control the dream itself.
I'm finding more and more proof over the years that humans simply do not experiment with sleeping or their subconsciousness that much. Not because they don't want to, but because they don't have the time or access to the materials and science to do so. Take 10g+ of psilocybin mushrooms and go straight to sleep before the effects kick in. See what happens. You can thank me later.

I once fell asleep while being able to consciously, awarely, visually watch my consciousness enter the REM state. Everything turned black and white spots flashed sometimes. This was unsatisfactory information to a pattern-seeking and -generating brain, so it gradually turned the white specks into snowflakes, and then a wintery snowscape, where I was lucid.

The brain is a hecking DeeppDream machine. I wonder where they got the "deepdream" moniker for their ANN from.

Better question: You have brain cancer. They need to remove 10% of your brain (or, for the sake of argument, the place of your brain where your consciousness is stored), but medical science has advanced to the point where we can replace it with cybernetics. After the surgery, are you still "you"?
What if the percentage is higher? 20%? 30%? 99%? 100%? What if you go through two surgeries, replacing 50% the first time, then a few weeks later the other 50%? What if you do it under local anesthetic instead of general so that you're "awake" during the entire surgery?

you aren't even conscious for all of your waking hours.
This becomes noticeable if you stay awake for more than 24 hours at a time. You are in a kind of waking sleep. You'll be doing something, and just kind of drift off, and then all of the sudden your consciousness snaps back in and it feels like you had a time loss.

I've been studying my dreams lately and have hit upon a few interesting observations.

Not only are you almost never aware of the dream state i.e. "lucid" dreaming, but there are other things conspicuous in their absence.

Take for instance an overarching worry. If my car is making a funny sound that indicates something has gone seriously wrong, I'm going to "carry" that concern into my waking life. As soon as I am conscious after a long night's sleep, it is probably the first thing my mind will think about, "fuck, my car is going to shit, I can't pay for this right now!"

In a seemingly long and detailed dream, those overarching concerns are simply absent from the experience, along with your awareness of being in a dream.

Its weird.

I think too much importance is put on it. While I'm skeptical of your claim, I have witnessed the phenomena myself probably ten times over my life, usually indicating a transition back to my waking state.

You're special, bro. Unlike the drones. So why are you a friendless incel? It must be easy to manipulate mindless drones as such a special person.

Because I'm an ugly manlet and I'm too moral to manipulate or lie to people.

This guy is a fucking retard, dudes. Why are we discussing bullshit like this instead of the nature of consciousness and reality?

Whenever you see "shart" or "drivel" remember this is who you are talking to. Just ignore immediately from then on.

Just ignore, srs. You'll start noticing this autist retard in other threads, and when you realize he's just a dumbfuck, you know it's not even worthy of response...

Look out for "insofar" as well. You'll notice that guy around too. These are the two main autists here.

I know the posters quite well. Some signs you might want to look out for (other than "shart", "drivel" and soijak posting) are the :^) face, use of "sub 90 IQ" and talk about killing the perceived NPCs.

[Anonymous No.14562995]

NPC-detecting neural networks when? It shouldn't be too hard to create a language model based on MSM articles, popular YT video transcriptions and social media posts and use it to estimate the relative likelihood of a post in the context of the learned model. You could then objectively compute the NPC factor of a poster based on a sample of their posts.

/r9k/ has always been populated by unwanted interlopers who do not belong on 4chan.
/r9k/ is a containment board for narcissistic, low iq, know-it-alls, just like /sci/, thats why neither board has any original content or native memes.
if there were really people of unique intelligence posting on either board then that board would have been creating original content, since they do not, that is proof of the lack of genius posters.

I've noticed an uncanny increase in the frequency of usage of the word "narcissist" among the nonhuman hordes. I wonder what YT pop psych video is responsible for this.

The confusion caused when a singularity expands and it starts thinking it's not just the singularity... There is nothing else... I am it, you are it. You are talking to yourself but you don't perceive it that way.

This provides insight into evolution I think. The formation of the ego must be quite early in the development of any creature. There is little else more important than being able to dissect reality into useful information such as "here is me, there is food".

Probably this dissection of elements of reality was a driving force of reality. Not only the observable physical parts like the giraffe's neck, but also the mental inner experience of creatures.

By its very nature it disproves OPs claim that consciousness ends with sleep. WILD methods transition directly from waking state to dream states. Both you and OP are fucking retarded, and so far the only mentions of lucid dreaming in this thread are because I mentioned the lack of discussion of it in the first place. This board fucking sucks. Fuck you.

Why does lucid dreaming matter? Also you have no clock in dreams, it's like a bad drug trip when you can't tell how much time is passing. So you can lucid dream all you like, and not know for sure that you were aware throughout.

IMO that sounds exhausting anyway. Letting the mind drop off is peace and relaxation.
