Improve Your Level of attention with Luminary V
Luminary V: One attainable kind of reality is that life, the universe and everything is a wetware simulation. It might be that you have imagined or dreamed or daydreamed up the complete cosmos from scratch and that every one reality just exists in your mind; in your consciousness or perhaps subconscious. Or, maybe somebody (or something) else has consciously or maybe subconsciously dreamed up life, the universe and everything and you are a part of their mentally-generated reality. I'm not positive how this possibility could ever be disproved, therefore in theory, maybe a consciousness did cause the cosmos. Now so long as that entity that contains that consciousness doesn't come to life or decide to invent a different cosmos, then all is right with the cosmos we nearly inhabit.
Should the [rest of the] universe contain consciousness? Absolutely not, any additional than the remainder of the universe MUST contain different extraterrestrial life forms. Life on Planet Earth, or at least a ton of life on Planet Earth, has consciousness. But, that might be a 1-off fluke. You'll be able to't argue consciousness being a little bit of a universal property throughout the cosmos from a statistical sample of 1. The universe will contain consciousness since some terrestrial life forms exhibit consciousness, like ourselves, but that does not mean it SHOULD contain consciousness across the cosmic board. An extraterrestrial life type sort of a virus on the earth Zork could not essentially exhibit any consciousness. It may be onerous to argue that a virus exhibits consciousness, and viruses might rather be distributed throughout the cosmos via that seeding method known as panspermia.
That consciousness exists means that the universe must be fine-tuned enough to permit consciousness to emerge from those basic laws, principles and relationships that rule the cosmic roost. But, consciousness isn't inevitable. There was a time within the cosmos when life, hence mind, hence consciousness failed to exist, thus consciousness didn't spring into existence nanoseconds when the Big Bang event. We tend to solely have one example in the entirety of the vast cosmos of consciousness existing, thus consciousness may well be a fluke.
It's laborious to extrapolate from a statistical sample of one. There would not seem to be any other form of consciousness anywhere else in our solar system so it's tough to argue that consciousness is universal or designed into the material of the cosmos. Simply as a result of there is one green apple in a barrel of red apples doesn't mean the barrel was required to contain any green apples.Truth be known, I believe that the subconscious may be a so much more mysterious realm of the mind or of the brain than consciousness. I'm in total awe of what the subconscious accomplishes, and not just within the human species but any species that has even the most basic rudiments of a neural network system.
