这篇文章探讨了太阳是否具有意识的想法,受到最近哲学中泛心论转向的启发,认为所有层次的自组织系统可能都有经验、意识或感觉。文章讨论了某些电磁场(如太阳产生的电磁场)可能具有意识和整合性的可能性。太阳的潜在意识可能涉及通过其电磁活动调节其自身身体和整个太阳系。文章还讨论了有机体哲学和泛心论,这些理论提出心智或经验是自然在许多组织层次上的一个方面。文章还探讨了整合信息理论意识(IIT),该理论认为具有高度整合信息的系统,如人脑,具有高度的意识。文章最后讨论了在这些问题启发下太阳可能的意识。 文章讨论了意识的种种理论,包括太阳可能具有意识的观点。 Todd Murphy 提出的一种理论认为,意识主要是磁性的,大脑的磁场受到神经电活动的影响。文章还讨论了意志性恒星假说,该假说认为恒星通过控制由电磁驱动的喷流来调整其在银河中的位置。太阳的电磁场可能是其物理活动与太阳能之间的主要接口,太阳可能通过这些场感知并影响太阳系内部的事件。如果太阳存在意识,那么它的心智可能关注于调节和维护其自身身体以及其与其他恒星和太阳系的地位和相互作用。然而,太阳有意识的想法仍然是一个有争议的问题,需要进一步研究来探讨这种可能性。 文章探讨了泛心论的想法,即意识是宇宙的基本方面,并将其应用于太阳。作者认为,正如人类和动物的大脑可能具有意识一样,其他自组织系统,如太阳,也可能拥有某种形式的意识。太阳受到来自银河系的各种能量和电磁活动的 influence,这可能与围绕超大质量黑洞的“银河意识”有关。这个想法将意识的讨论扩展到地球之外,考虑了宇宙的互联性。文章承认这种观点与传统的机械唯物主义不同,但提供了一种理解宇宙的替代方式。

benreesman: Apologies if this is a dumb question or a taboo question or both, but what the does “conscious” mean?<p>We know about lots of complex systems, and systems that exhibit “emergent” behaviors seeming much more complex and goal-directed than the components of the system (the glider gun, that thing with the computer-modeled birds with like 3 simple rules but then the whole flock does complicated, creative stuff, long list).<p>Because I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone call a virus conscious, or a fire (until this submission I guess) and both of those things consume energy in one way or another, reproduce, avoid obstacles, adapt to situations to reproduce more.<p>Ok so maybe it’s bacteria, or maybe it’s spiders, or maybe it’s dolphins, or maybe it’s primates, and then abruptly it’s “yup, humans for sure, that’s the one thing everyone agrees on, humans are conscious”.<p>But is a fertilized human egg conscious, or a fetus at one trimester, or two, or three, or birth? That seems pretty controversial.<p>Doesn’t this all seem a bit pre-Copernican? It’s like the “Copenhagen Interpretation” of wave function “collapse” via Born amplitudes: if you just give up on trying to force subjective human experience onto hard data and sound math, abruptly there’s nothing really very controversial going on other than some deep, personal introspection about subjective experience.<p>I regard myself as a spiritual person in the sense that I wonder about my own subjective experience and the existence of some greater plane of reality and the possibility of a creator or deity, that seems to be a fairly common if not borderline ubiquitous thing people describe, but it’s not transferable, and it feels like the goalposts on consciousness are just a bunch of post-facto efforts to rationalize why this observable trait of other people likewise describing some subjective experience into science.<p>If describing a subjective experience in compelling natural language is an indicator of consciousness then my MacBook is conscious.<p>I feel like I’m missing something here.
benreesman: 如果这是一个愚蠢的问题或禁忌问题,或者两者都有,请道歉,但“有意识”是什么意思<p> 我们知道很多复杂的系统,表现出“紧急”行为的系统似乎比系统的组件更复杂,更具目标导向性(滑翔机炮,用计算机模拟鸟类的东西,有3个简单的规则,但整个群体都在做复杂、有创意的事情,长长的清单)<p> 因为我想我从来没有听过有人把病毒称为有意识的,或者火灾(我想在提交之前),这两种东西都以这样或那样的方式消耗能量,繁殖,避免障碍,适应环境以繁殖更多<p> 好吧,也许是细菌,也许是蜘蛛,也许是海豚,也许是灵长类动物,然后突然出现了“是的,当然是人类,这是每个人都同意的一件事,人类是有意识的”<p> 但是,受精的人类卵子是有意识的,还是怀孕一个月、两个月、三个月或出生的胎儿?这似乎很有争议<p> 这一切看起来不是有点早于哥白尼时代吗?这就像波函数通过天生振幅“崩溃”的“哥本哈根解释”:如果你放弃了将主观的人类经验强加给硬数据和合理的数学,那么突然之间,除了对主观经验进行一些深刻的个人反省之外,没有什么真正有争议的了<p> 我把自己视为一个有精神的人,因为我想知道我自己的主观体验,以及更大的现实层面的存在,以及创造者或神的可能性,这似乎是人们描述的一种相当普遍的东西,如果不是边缘普遍的话,但它是不可转移的,感觉意识上的门柱只是一堆事后的努力,以合理化为什么其他人的这种可观察到的特征也会把一些主观体验描述成科学<p> 如果用令人信服的自然语言描述主观体验是意识的指标,那么我的MacBook就是有意识的<p> 我觉得我错过了什么。
trashtensor: > Most researchers agree that consciousness is somehow related to the
electrical activity of brains. Some go further and propose that brains’
electromagnetic fields actually are conscious.<p>I am not knowledgeable at all here so I'm just going to talk out of my butt for a second but this seems testable. Does disrupting the electromagnetic fields in the brain disrupt consciousness?trashtensor: >;大多数研究人员一致认为,意识在某种程度上与大脑的电活动。有些人更进一步,提出大脑电磁场实际上是有意识的<p> 我在这里一点知识都没有,所以我;我只是想说几句话,但这似乎是可以测试的。扰乱大脑中的电磁场会扰乱意识吗?
VHRanger: > Alfred Rupert Sheldrake (born 28 June 1942) is an English author and parapsychology researcher. He proposed the concept of morphic resonance,[2][3] a conjecture that lacks mainstream acceptance and has been widely criticized as pseudoscience.
