>>42923How could you experience a loss of consciousness
No.42954
>>42944Well, if you think about for example, losing an eye or a limb, you've experienced a loss of something biological right. So I suppose when you lose consciousness slowly as you age, you're getting closer to that ideal, piece by piece.

>>43006Yeah but my point was that consciousness only changes shape, we are never actually unconscious. Even if one of your relatives gets pneumonia and sedated on the special 5 pharma drugs - midazolam, fentanyl and the others, and it seems like they are unconscious, they are still actually conscious its just a really warped consciousness.
I have to admit getting knocked out is hard to explain though. I've had it happen and just remember waking up.

>>43050The continuity of consciousness for the one knocked "unconscious" is never lost though. From the perspective of the Self consciousness has pure, infinite, unbroken continuity

>>43051Continuity is not lost yes, but I still wonder what you experience when you get knocked out.
Maybe its relevant that, if humans only see in 60FPS, that means there are a lot of frames we aren't seeing - but we still think of ourselves as being conscious all the time normally. So maybe if we lose out a lot of frames from being unconscious its actually just like normal reality.
Also there are probably an infinite number of frames that exist anyway. Like for every second we are not seeing 10,000 frames - but there's probably more, maybe infinite, idk but it sounds reasonable...

When I go to sleep I lucid dream.
When I had surgery I was ultra-lucid and still conscious.
When I was knocked out I experienced being in my astral body and seeing my own body from third person until I got sucked back into my body by some kind of gravitational force while hearing a strange sound like in that one scene in the matrix.
I think maybe some people deny consciousness because they are themselves not conscious; they are NPCs.
I've never experienced a lapse in consciousness. When my body isn't working I'm still conscious.

Hmm reading thread is gone
Finally finished this book by the smartest man in Brazil. But really I can't tell whether he is Brazilian or not. Went to a Brazilian uni and looks like it but he's based in the Netherlands somehow. His first job was in a lab so he must've had rich parents
Anyway book is really good, very dense, took about a month to read. Very convincing about idealism.
I imagine none of you will really have the time to read it unless you're already familiar with this stuff so can breeze through it.
One of the things he's suggesting is that there is no true unconscious - just like what I'm suggesting in the OP. Here he cites examples of how reductions in brain activation do not actually stop consciousness, they just alter it. Note that he changes a lot of his definitions through the book as you get into it, so you have to be generous if you read these bits (about 2/5 into the book).
I will probs move on to other subjects now, I just wanted to read something about consciousness and the hard problem etc. Very good book though 10/10 and the man seems to be becoming more important as a philosopher. Also he is active on YT
