6. Why does Nick Bostrom believe that the universe may be a virtual simulation? Do you agree or disagree? Substantiate your answer
The famous movie trilogy “The Matrix” describes a human life by a conscious creation of a virtual machine space. And recently, a team of philosophers express that we could really live in a computer-generated universe. Nick Bostrom is one of the philosophers. He believes that our universe may be the value of life computer simulation. He believes that after our highly evolved descendants could built a program to simulate the past, as well as scenes of life of their ancestors. He thinks for a highly developed civilization which is inevitable. If this situation did not happen now, humans may never evolve into advanced …show more content…
What are Patricia Churchland’s views on the connection between the brain and self-reflective awareness? Do you agree or disagree? Back up your answer.
Patricia Churchland believes that the knowledge from understanding brain helps in philosophical issues. Churchland states: “you cannot understand the mind without understanding how the brain works.” (The Neural Basis of Consciousness) Churchland believes that fully understand brain structure and function is able to truly understand human consciousness. Churchland also realized that all consciousness are rooted in the nervous system of the human brain.
As same as self-reflective awareness, it is rooted in the nervous system of the human brain either. It is based on the protection of the basic human need to survive in order to constant evolution of the nervous system and regulation. As we decide on the course of brain’s unconscious activity, ultimately unconscious neural activity in the brain is making decisions. All human behavior, perception or thought, memory and decision, emotion and evaluation, conscious or unconscious, all processed by nerve system in the …show more content…
Consciousness is the neural phenomenon of life. When life was born, life is with the consciousness. It is a sense of self and external sensory integration. The foundation is an individual with a sense of their own body awareness which is self-reflective awareness, recognized own approved know ability to exercise own recognition of the comprehensive ability. Because human consciousness arises function of the nervous system, it explains everything like source and existence of consciousness. So no matter whether can we perceived consciousness itself, awareness is present in the never
