[QUOTE="JTL, post: 814999, member: 49289"] A few years ago I was reading some stuff by a Muslim philosopher. He was trying to figure out who what and where we really are. He was also a brain surgeon. He asked the question ... what do we see with? Most people will answer with the eyes but they'd only be partially right because we actually see with the brain. We also hear with the brain smell and taste with it. All the wiring and sensors go to the right places for the information to be read and interpreted. They all cross over too so that smell or taste can trigger a memory to do with something seemingly unrelated. He wanted to know what consciousness ID and ego really are. The visual bit. We have eyes that take in light. The light triggers a series of very complex events which basically changes the light into electro chemical digital information which is sent to the visual cortex. The visual cortex is a tiny thing nestled deep in the folds of the brain somewhere roughly centre ... in a dark warm place. In fact in a pitch black place. No light ever enters into the skull unless someone hits you with an ice pick. But a lot of decoding goes on in this tiny visual cortex that has never ever been exposed to light of any kind and what happens ... a full HD video is played of what the visual cortex has interpreted is going on on the outside of your skull. Who is watching this video? How are they watching this video? Where are they positioned to watch this video and how are they positioned there? [/QUOTE]
