As the week comes to a close, I find myself thinking on two details.
- What constitutes consciousness? We say that we are conscious and that there are levels of consciousness but how can we measure it, in its entirety, if we ourselves don’t know the limits. There is no telling what we can discover about the mind so who’s to say what level we are on and how we should compare to other beings.
- Ethics have always confused me. Because there can be more than one answer, none of them completely correct, it bothers me. As some people say there are multiple ways to get to the same place. In science, this is true but you should, if you are doing it right, end up in the same area, if the original science is wrong you just present the different results and let the scientific community test again to find the truth. In ethics there are multiple way to reach multiple ways to reach different places or the same place with details slightly shifted.
