''I noticed that you dropped the "many worlds hypothesis" nonsense after I informed you that this is also a simulation hypothesis since it implies the existence of other universes which are non physical to us. You never mentioned it again after that. ''
You are a funny. It has nothing to do with you or what you said (which wasn't much). I gave a list of alternative models and there is no reason to keep mentioning many worlds hypothesis....which has nothing to do with me. It is a model that is still on the list of possible explanations for wave collapse, but in this instance, rather than wave collapse there is a split. I have no preference for MW. It is a possibility.
''Can you provide any empirical evidence in support of your special truth of consciousness being produced by the brain?''
Why do you ignore the evidence I list and just repeat the question.
I've already explained that any electrochemical and/or structural changes to senses and brain architecture effects cognition/consciousness in very specific ways, vision , hearing, the ability to think, decide and act.
All of which are the function of the central nervous system and the brain as the central processor.
The evidence for this is overwhelming and undeniable.
For example:
Prefrontal Cortex damage: 1 - 'The 20-year-old female subject studied by Damasio et al. was intelligent and academically competent, but she stole from her family and other children, abused other people both verbally and physically, lied frequently, and was sexually promiscuous and completely lacking in empathy toward her illegitimate child. In addition, the researchers say, "She never expressed guilt or remorse for her misbehavior'' ''Both of the subjects performed well on measures of intellectual ability, but, like people with adult-onset prefrontal cortex damage, they were socially impaired, failed to consider future consequences when making decisions, and failed to respond normally to punishment or behavioral interventions. "Unlike adult-onset patients, however," the researchers say, "the two patients had defective social and moral reasoning, suggesting that the acquisition of complex social conventions and moral rules had been impaired." While adult-onset patients possess factual knowledge about social and moral rules (even though they often cannot follow these rules in real life), Damasio et al.'s childhood-onset subjects appeared unable to learn these rules at all. This may explain, the researchers say, why their childhood-onset subjects were much more antisocial, and showed less guilt and remorse, than subjects who suffered similar damage in adulthood.''
On the neurology of morals
'''Patients with medial prefrontal lesions often display irresponsible behavior, despite being intellectually unimpaired. But similar lesions occurring in early childhood can also prevent the acquisition of factual knowledge about accepted standards of moral behavior.''
