Oh neuroscientists while you are slicing and dicing go deeper into the mysteries of life and seek deeper than materialism. Probe deeper into consciousness (the hard problem) and within your flow of thoughts called consciousness become aware of awareness the great unknown of being aware of being aware. Then you to can be as Socrates and state I know nothing and can teach nothing.

Of course his intelligence taught the world much but he knew rightly that he could teach nothing about a simple term called awareness, which is being aware of one’s awareness. Few understood what he meant when he stated I can teach or know nothing. Very few.

Actually materialism based in intellectualism may indeed be a path to seeking into this great mystery of being aware of being aware. Maybe one has to move through religious dogma first to move one’s consciousness to ask the questions not based in religion or materialism. Or not.

Actually becoming aware of being aware is not the hard problem like consciousness it is not a problem at all; it comes in the form of a realization and it occurs in an instant. It will never leave you because it is you. The “you” that is impossible to define. Who knew? Not many.

One will only have to read the future comments to this post to see clearly that not many indeed.

Researcher, your grandiose philosophical ramblings seem rather unrelated to the article. You also appear to believe you belong to some elite few who have marveled at the wonder of their own sentience. Let me assure you that many more people are just as aware of their awareness, and I encourage you to avoid such lazy assumptions.

Just leave the filthy little trolling ignoramus alone and it’ll die the death it deserves - alone and pathetic.
