Article geared towards high school, which is where you should have learned this

... You're kidding right?

How does this answer the hard problem of consciousness? How does this prove to us that the brain is just electrical signals and there is nothing more to consciousness?

I am not finding that here at all.

First sentences:

Did you know that while reading this your brain is sending off chemical and electrical signals to help you to understand the words and their meaning? Your brain is made up of networks of small cells called neurons that communicate electrochemically to enable you to think, feel, and interact with the world around you.

Oh good point that solves the still open hard problem of consciousness.

Silly me.

Ok bye.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And no one was talking about the hard problem of consciousness. Just that it's electrical impulses in the brain.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was.

You're replying to me, dipshit.

Well stop bringing up unrelated shit and then claiming I didn't address it. Of course I didn't address it.
