Consciousness

Consciousness is a complex phenomenon that is not fully understood by scientists. However, there are a number of theories about how consciousness works.

One theory is that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. This means that consciousness arises from the complex interactions of many different parts of the brain, rather than from any single part.

Another theory is that consciousness is a form of information processing. This means that consciousness is the result of the brain processing information from the environment and from within the body.

A third theory is that consciousness is a subjective experience. This means that consciousness is unique to each individual and cannot be objectively measured or observed.

There is no single theory of consciousness that is universally accepted by scientists. However, all of these theories offer insights into how consciousness might work.

Here are some additional details about the different theories of consciousness:

The emergent property theory of consciousness states that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. This means that consciousness arises from the complex interactions of many different parts of the brain, rather than from any single part. For example, the thalamus is thought to play a role in relaying information to the cortex, while the cortex is thought to be involved in processing information and generating conscious experiences.

The information processing theory of consciousness states that consciousness is a form of information processing. This means that consciousness is the result of the brain processing information from the environment and from within the body. For example, the brain receives information from the senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. The brain also receives information from the body, such as the position of the limbs and the internal organs. The brain then processes this information and generates conscious experiences, such as seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling, and knowing where our limbs are.

The subjective experience theory of consciousness states that consciousness is a subjective experience. This means that consciousness is unique to each individual and cannot be objectively measured or observed. For example, no one else can experience my conscious experience of seeing the color red.

While there is no single theory of consciousness that is universally accepted by scientists, all of these theories offer insights into how consciousness might work.

Set in the year 2022, Soylent Green depicts a dystopia , a Malthusian catastrophe that occurs because humanity has failed to pursue sustainable development and has not halted uncontrolled population growth ; New York City 's population is 40,000,000, with more than half of it unemployed. Global warming , air and water pollution have produced a year-round heatwave and a thin, yellow, daytime smog . Food and fuel are scarce resources, because of animal and plant decimation, housing is dilapidated and overcrowded, and widespread government-sponsored euthanasia is encouraged to control and reduce overpopulation. Meat, bread, cheese, fruit, vegetables, and even alcoholic beverages are scarce and extremely expensive; for example, a six- ounce jar of strawberry jam is 150 "Ds" ( US Dollars ). Like the soylent food factories, the farms producing foodstuffs are heavily guarded and off-limits to civilians. For most of the populace, natural foods are a rarely, if ever, enjoy...

So, We are gonna arm the Sunnis'

Mr. Gates our present Sec of Defence cut his teeth on this little number -- it was called the -- Iran-Contra Affair . Arms transaction The Iran-Contra report found that the sales of arms to Iran violated United States Government policy; it also violated the Arms Export Control Act .

[9] First arms sale Michael Ledeen , a consultant of Robert McFarlane , asked Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres for help in the sale of arms to Iran. [11] The general idea behind the plan was for Israel to ship weapons to Iran, then the US would reimburse Israel with the same weapons. The Israeli government required that the sale of arms meet high level approval from the United States government, and when Robert McFarlane convinced them that the U.S. government approved the sale, Israel obliged by agreeing to sell the arms.
