Harold Sosa+FollowIs Your Brain Actually Awake?Ever get that trippy feeling like you’re just going through the motions? Turns out, you can check if you’re truly conscious by noticing your inner chatter, feeling real emotions, catching yourself making choices, and even spotting when things don’t add up. If you can describe what you’re experiencing, feel your feelings, and remember who you are, congrats—you’re not a zombie. The wildest part? Just wondering if you’re conscious is proof that you are! #Health #MentalHealth #Consciousness10Share
Jennifer Meyer+FollowAre We Building Conscious Machines?With brain-inspired tech and artificial intelligence evolving at breakneck speed, the question of machine consciousness is no longer just philosophy—it’s a real-world challenge. If we can’t agree on what consciousness is, how do we know when (or if) a machine can actually feel? Should we worry about the rights or suffering of AI? Where do you draw the ethical line as machines get smarter? #Tech #AIethics #Consciousness00Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDid the Moon Make Us Conscious?Turns out, our awareness might owe a lot to the Moon! Scientists now think Earth’s magnetic field—boosted by the Moon’s ancient dance—protected our atmosphere long enough for consciousness to evolve. Plus, birds have their own version of consciousness, proving you don’t need a human brain to be aware. And get this: some researchers think quantum physics could be involved! Next time you look up at the Moon, remember, it might be the reason you’re even able to wonder about it. #Science #Consciousness #ScienceNews40Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowWait, Is Consciousness the Real OG?Mind. Blown. A top scientist just dropped a wild new theory: consciousness isn’t just something our brains make up—it’s actually the foundation of EVERYTHING. According to Maria Strømme, space, time, and matter all come after consciousness. She’s even got physics and math to back it up, and her paper’s getting major buzz. If this holds up, it could totally flip how we see reality, life, and even what happens after we die. Paradigm shift, anyone? #Science #Consciousness #ScienceNews51Share
