Our human condition hinders our capacity to understand anything.
Nonsense remains nonsense regardless of who says it.
Now that it’s obvious that biology research is increasingly rendering unguided OOL less possible and the appearance of the eukaryotic cell more mysterious with every discovery, seeing distinguished scientists say all kind of gibberish is very discouraging at best.
But when we see that the leading edge research in neuroscience using the best EEG and fMRI technologies available, is not preventing the hard problem of consciousness from turning much harder and more mind blowing with practically every serious paper published on the topic, seeing distinguished scientists talk nonsense about free will is pathetically depressing.
When we say “I” or “we” what are we referring to?
If you say “I like this”, what do you mean by “I” and what does it mean in scientific details that you like that particular something.
Explain it in terms of physics. Chemistry is just a special way of looking at physical processes at the atomic/subatomic level.
When you say that you prefer the walls of a room to be painted in light blue instead of red, what do you mean in terms of physics that you prefer one color to the other? How does that preference happens physically?
