consciousness is not totally located in the brain and I'm tired of saying otherwise

Yeah it is. The rest of the nervous system probably has some influence on your behaviour but you're not gonna lose any memories or whatever without it.

it makes no difference, so why even give a shit

source?

>Henry Stapp proposed a quantum mechanical view of consciousness, suggesting that it's not solely contained within the brain but involves a broader interplay between mind and matter, specifically through quantum processes. He posits that conscious choices can influence physical events in the brain, implying a causal connection that isn't unidirectional from brain to mind.
>This contrasts with classical physics, which typically views the brain as a purely physical system governed by deterministic laws. Stapp's model suggests that consciousness, while associated with the brain, is not solely determined by it. Instead, conscious choices can causally impact brain activity.

Is this book any good? Would you recommend it? What's it about?

Yeah consciousness is non-local but I wonder what's brain's part in all this? Is it something like a signal receiver?

>source?
He barked.

all of Stapp's books are interesting

>The central argument of "Henry Stapp mindful universe" rests on the interpretation of quantum mechanics, specifically, the von Neumann–Wigner interpretation, emphasizing the role of the observer in the collapse of the wave function.

In the new quantum mechanics theory, conscious experiences enter into the dynamics in specified ways not fixed by physically described aspects alone.

No it's not you idiot.

Trelkovsky: Tell me, at what precise moment - does an individual stop being who he thinks he is?
Stella: You know, I don't like complications.
Trelkovsky: You cut off my arm. I say, "Me - and my arm." You cut off my other arm. I say, "Me and my two arms." You - take out - take out my stomach, my kidneys, assuming that were possible. And I say, "Me and my intestines." Do you follow me? And now, if you cut off my head - would I say, "Me and my head" or "Me and my body"?

I admit I'm a physicalist. But what do idealists mean when they ask where "they" are in the body? As far as pop science is concerned, the self is roughly in the brain and its mechanisms

>>24484376
Me and my body is the clear answer.
Getting guillotined your last moments of consciousness are as a disembodied head.

Of course it isn't. Materialism is hogwash that never had serious philosophical backing and washed pushed as mainstream by the media despite a majority of people disbelieving in it.

>serious philosophical backing
It however had plenty of observational and scientific backing :]

It's the heart also

>>24484408
Materialism is used as a methodology in science. It is not and cannot be reached as a metaphysical conclusion you fucking retard.

what would Chalmers say about Searle's Chinese Room Experiment?

Wonder if he's related to Scott Stapp lead singer of Creed
