“Consciousness is anything you define it as. I tell people instead of waiting, just take any definition that you like, and use that, and run with it! So I don't think the issue is that we don't know what consciousness is. The issue is we don't have a consensus on what consciousness is. Far from it.” PeopleThinkingKnowsUseRunningWaitingConsciousnessIssuesDefinitionsConsensus Author:Stanley Krippner

“I want to put it back together now, this artistic expression that contains religious feeling. I want to investigate: What was the origin? What's happened in the human mind? Can we trace back the moment of the creation of human consciousness? And why did only humans gain consciousness, not other animals? So, evolution? I don't know whether or not I can believe evolution. Maybe we wait for another 100,000 years and then apes get consciousness.” KnowsWantYearsMindBelieveHumansI CanMomentsFeelingsTogetherWaitingReligiousAnimalConsciousnessHappenedCreationExpressionEvolutionGainsArtisticHuman MindApesBack TogetherHuman ConsciousnessArtistic Expression Author:Hiroshi Sugimoto
