Random Thought #30
I have figured out conciousness. Well the key to conciousness. With this information I shall use it to create an artificial conciousness.
See I was thinking to myself the other day, wouldn't it be neat to be able to program a machine to basicly act just like the human mind does to external forces. That'd be great, if you can mimic the things we do then you could create an artificial intelligence except for one slight problem. Once you have everything programmed and ready to go, it won't go! I already knew this because it just makes sense to me, I'm that smart. But anyway, I came to this question, how does one set conciousness in motion? I think I've figured it out!
I think the key in life lies in dying. It's a lot like walking, you can't walk without falling, the act of walking is just the act of catching onesself before you fall. Without the ability to fall we wouldn't walk.
Well I think conciousness works in a similar way, I think that the minds conciousness is "moving" forward so to speak because the body is dying. I think the cascading effect of the dying body is what creates our concious thoughts, if we were immortal we would not be concious. See the body is an organism designed to die, ultimately our fates are doomed from day one, the only purpose our minds actualy serve is to delay that inevitable doom as long as possible. Most of this is done automaticaly by our brains, automatic responses to problems which are interpreted by parts of our minds designed to do those specific things. Millions of things happen at once all the time in our minds to prevent our body's from basicly dying. The more complex the mechanism the more complex the conciousness that's created. But the fact that it's there is because of the dying aspect of that organizm.
So I think the cascading effect of death is a lot like the falling portion of walking. You can't have one without the other. So using this idea of causing certain doom on an organism/machine and then giving it a "brain" will activate it's conciousness and possibly make it self aware given enough time....
This, is my random thought.

Yeah that's ok! I just think people don't get this because it's too much for them but it makes a lot of sense.
See the idea of conciousness is very vague as to how it even exists but I'm positive I'm on the right track here. This is gonna be big like the theory of relativity once I iron out the details.
It's like looking at the human body, all the parts can be there, functional and present but what causes the actual body to gain conciousness?
For the most part I think it's just a small portion of the brain. A part that stores memory and another that analyzes a few key things. Those things being memory, the body's automatic functions and any other external imput.
Those basic functions only exist because of the constant imput from the body to the brain because it's dying and needs the control mechanism (brain) to slow it's dying down.
without the fact that the body is dying nothing would be occuring hence no consciousness. Least that's my theory at the moment.
