Wow, you just wrote an essential piece, thank you.

I saw the article about the experiment but it didn’t strike me.
You’re right and maybe it could also be said that the sum of the parts just doesn’t equate to the whole.

All this has a close relationship with freewill that is ” in fact more to do with doing. It is in fact not about choosing a decision but enacting one”

But concerning human only remembering ability, I’m not so sure that other animals do not share that with us:

What is interesting in this article is where it is said that “In Bermuda, a mother dolphin even brought her calf over to listen to the whistles of dolphins she’d known,” which clearly shows an active behavior in the will to share – and transmit- a memory, don’t you think ?

It’s not like the average bear needs scientists, sorcerers or priests to create false memories or false anything.
People are perfectly capable of producing their very own. And they do.

Also, on the same note, it’s amusing that the neo-impersonalists defend their own conjured imaginings as well. This In the name of life, yet!
Possibly the ultimate blasphemy.

What part of the Matrix is this ? The Dark City zone . No doubt the Strangers at MIT are getting all excited about the prospect of future ” tuning ” events …

“If the morons at MIT had any self-knowledge and courage, they’d stop what they were doing. They’d shut down the lab. They’d stop bothering the rats. They’d access the open sky of their own imaginations. They’d create something. They might figure out how to launch a revolution that could take back the freedoms we’ve lost. They might become artists. They’d give their materialistic bullshit a rest.” – Loved that!

Yep, consciousness is what it’s all about, Jon, without which, there is only sheer materiality. This is the deepest meaning of Yin and Yang. One can’t get more opposite than consciousness and materiality.

My only critique is related to ” all the particles that make up the universe have no life in them..”

Everything that exists is “alive” though it may not be recognized as such.Why? Because the entire universe is a living organism, therefore, every atom and molecule is a component of life.
