Does consciousness count as matter?

Of course, it is not material. I think that consciousness is generated by the sensory system of living beings (nerve cells and the like), which is unique to living organisms. From the point of view of biological origin, the earliest single cell was a mass of "Dongdong" composed of various "dirty" substances (not taking into account cosmic dust or extraterrestrial life) in the solution of the primordial ocean reacted with each other, which was a mass of chemical reactions combined by the interaction between atoms and molecules, and the process was chaotic and complex.

Some of these "Dongdong" have either fallen apart in the process of contact and collision with the outside world, or have been merged and swallowed up, or have not changed, or have changed a lot. Among them, there are so many billions of "dongdong" (I don't know the specifics) that have many good characteristics, can remain independent when in contact with the outside world and can produce a certain interaction (specifically, with different reactions or effects with the outside world), these "dongdong" I assume are the most primitive single-cell pull. Its reaction or action with the outside world, that is, the effect of the outside world on it, is to act on it (although this "dongdong" may not be visible to the naked eye, it is also a large mass of molecules, with a total molecular weight of 10 to the nth power).

This part of the function is the most primitive induction system (is the system too elevated?). ）。As it evolved, it became more complex, giving rise to specialized nerve cells, which in turn led to the brain.

From the most primitive but still very complex cells of the most primitive sensing system to the animal and human brains, it has undergone billions of years and countless qualitative changes. The earliest induction was a complex chemical reaction or interaction between molecules, and later specialized nerve cells, so that the later neural cell aggregate (brain) was generated, which produced complex induction (sensitive, responsive) consciousness. I'm not sure if a creature with only nerve cells is conscious, hehe.

Conclusion: Consciousness is reaction (very complex chemical reactions).

Disclaimer: The above is all nonsense from me, purely personal assumptions, if there is a coincidence, it is purely accidental. The cover does not bear any legal responsibility for any problems arising therefrom. Hey.

It depends on what category you are discussing, if in materialism, consciousness is the extension of matter, not matter, and matter determines consciousness; However, in idealism, consciousness is the origin of the world, and it is consciousness that determines matter, for example, "I think, therefore I am" is a typical idealist view. In philosophy, the friend who writes upstairs for the longest time can be classified into the category of vulgar materialism (note that this is not materialism), and many of his friends downstairs are from the vulgar materialist view, and the friend on the 7th floor who mentions the laws of physical matter can be classified into the mechanical materialist view. If you want to know more, you can see Western philosophy or Marxist philosophy.

But be clear: what is the primacy of matter and consciousness is the main difference between materialism and idealism, and the landlord's confusion can be said to be an important step in the cultivation of the ability to think in your head.

There are concepts in political textbooks, and I will not repeat them. I don't need to repeat what is already clear there.

I will do my opinion and understanding to open up.

1. Consciousness is not matter (paradoxical opposites).

These are two concepts, and they are two concepts no matter how connected they are. Men and women are closely linked, and without women there can be no man, but men are not women.

2. Consciousness has a strong connection (unity) with matter

Consciousness has a material basis, and without real matter (the narrow definition of matter, concrete things) there can be no mental activity. It's like you can't shine without a real person, but it's not a real person itself, not to mention that it may not be fully reflected, and it has gone through personal thinking and subjective opinions (people put on makeup, ** and ps, the result may be beautified or ugly); On the other hand, things are changing and developing (plastic surgery), so this reaction is even more incomplete representation of the original appearance of things (before plastic surgery).

Consciousness has material properties (the generalized concept of matter, where everything exists). Consciousness is real, it is material.

Comparing men and women again, the substance in the narrow sense is the woman, and the woman gives birth to the man (consciousness). Men and women are two kinds of things, not the same drops. But both men and women are human beings (in the broad sense of the word).

If I don't get into the horns, I'll be clearer

Not substance. Consciousness is the opposite of matter and is not the same in nature. At the same time, they are unified, and they cannot exist independently.

Consciousness is the highest form of psychological reflection and a psychological phenomenon peculiar to human beings, which is formed under social and historical conditions in the course of human labor, in the process of interacting with others through language.

So it doesn't count.

No, but consciousness is generated by matter, i.e., the brain.

No, the thinking activity of the human brain is the response of the human brain to the material world.

No, just as information counts as matter.

Your brain is nothing more than a vehicle for consciousness.

It's material, I firmly believe!

I've seen a lot of energy fields or brain waves coming from a kind of consciousness, but it's just invisible, this is my opinion.

The complexity of the system exceeds the critical level, generating consciousness.

Consciousness is informational and dependent on a material basis.

The conservation of matter is one of the most fundamental laws of physics, and I am not aware of any phenomenon that would indicate the conservation of consciousness.

The mental activity of the human brain is the reaction of the human brain to the material world. To put it bluntly, there is matter first, then there is consciousness, and consciousness is built on a material foundation.

Consciousness has a material basis.

Consciousness is the origin of the world, or rather, consciousness is the world.

The objective thinking activity of the brain on the subjective world.

It makes no difference here whether a human brain or a pig brain is. Got it?

I have a head, so I think back.

The relationship between matter and consciousness.

1. The dialectical relationship between matter and consciousness is one of them.

2. Matter is an objective reality that does not depend on human consciousness and can be reflected by human consciousness. Consciousness is the reflection of objective things in the human brain.

3. Matter determines consciousness, and consciousness reflects matter.

The philosophical question that has plagued people for thousands of years has finally been solved, consciousness is matter?

1. Consciousness is a high-level extension of human beings' perceptual system as living beings—from simple information feedback to complex information feedback.

For example, people often say that they are as timid as a mouse, which describes that a mouse will be frightened when it sees a snake, and that it will be frightened. The actual situation is that rats have a high probability of not being eaten by snakes because they do not move.

Assuming that the reaction of the mouse to the snake is a conditioned reflex and almost an unconscious behavior, then in the process of looking at this thing, human beings add consciousness, that is, the information of this event is processed in some way and forms their own judgment on things.

This whole collection of information collected and processed is the embodiment of consciousness, or rather the embodiment of thinking.

2. Consciousness is built on matter, and can not be bound by matter.

For example, what exactly is material? For example, if you lift a stick with your hand, it's a physical, material act. The consciousness can control the hand to do this, but it cannot perform any action outside the medium of the body, so it comes to the basic conclusion that the consciousness cannot directly dominate or act on things outside the body.

In particular, people will lose consciousness after death, so the above consciousness is just an explanation of the "function" of survival, and it is also the answer to the second question.

Since consciousness itself is based on matter and exists because of matter, then it is material. For example, your mind is constantly thinking about profound problems, which will cause your brain to feel uncomfortable, feel tired, and consume energy, and this intuitive physical response can clearly tell you that consciousness cannot transcend the existence of matter.

Interestingly, before humans went to the deep sea, before they went to the universe, they made countless conjectures and thoughts about it, so that these things can be realized. If we stick to consciousness or thinking itself, and are limited to the question of whether it is material or not, how can human beings jump out of this framework and let countless geniuses use their consciousness or thoughts to change the world?

Since the existence of consciousness allows people to see what they can't see, hear what they can't hear, and super-empirical, to perceive the world, then it can only be said that the proposition "whether consciousness is material or not" is meaningless, because the real value of consciousness lies in the fact that it can metaphysically transcend these to look at the world, and if human consciousness gives up conjecture and curiosity because matter determines consciousness, then the "soul" of consciousness is dead.
