What is Consciousness ? - Three Stages of Consciousness | Michio Kaku

About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery

1. Mr. Kaku is wrong. Conciousness is awareness. Does a dog knows it´s a dog ? is it aware that her SELF is alive ? Conciousness has to do with THINKING. Can a dog think ? If it can think, it needs to be conscient. If the dog has conciousness, it can think. Consciousness is awareness and this implies in self-awareness necessarily, because in order to have consciousness must have auto-consciousness, because auto-conciousness preceeds the awareness.
2. A computer must have an OS to function. If the brain is hardware where is the Software or OS? It's not DNA!
3. a squirrel hide a an acorn in the ground to use eat day, how does this come about with no concept of time ? time has a high evolutionary relevance and is well understood.
4. I disagree, I am sure that I have studied animals, monkeys apes that can plan ahead and use tools
5. Michio said that we are the only things "humans" that look into the future, Daydream ect.but my question is what about things like squirrel's hiding nuts for the winter doesn't that denote projecting yourself into the future?
6. What is being missed is a subject that has long been intertwined in cultures throughout the ages - Spirituality. For anyone wanting to
   pursue the subject further, I'd recommend reading Scientology: Fundamentals of Thought.
7. This guy works for government!
   He doesn't want me and you to wake up.
   He wants us to stay Slave for ever!
8. Wrong, it is not a pyramid, it is a maze #Westworld
9. what a flawed logic with two worlds example at 19:00.
   of course on two worlds life may not develop but because it has developed on one there is no way it could have been otherwise dear Michio!
10. I disagree with the robot comment. Robots will never have a consciousness.
11. who the fuck is that white hairy guy, my gosh- i almost see him giving his eloquence in every field of science, why don't he give a brief about his own head- i want to know his brain composition..... and the most amazing thing is that he gives a very relevant fact to every subjects ...lol ........
12. I can't believe people admire this quack!
    
    He tries to enter the discussion of consciousness like some sort of "expert" without bothering to explain or argue where or how he came up with his claims. He's not only dishonest, but also unscientific and a failure as a philosopher. His conclusions are also implausible and unconvincing.
    
    Isn't Michio Kaku supposed to be physicist? I know Michio probably don't bothers reading comment on these YouTube videos and even if he did he probably wouldn't heed my advice; but dude - stick with physics and leave consciousness to someone who is actually qualified to talk about the subject.
13. how does the uncertainty principle justify free will in any way? nice fallacy there...
14. What about squirrels storing nuts......don't they know the future awareness?
15. Man I am so tired of this guy. Why does he always get interviewed
16. Im glad to see so many comments of people that know more about consciousness than this guy. Let the new generation of consciousness primacy come. Cheers
17. Consciousness is the energy that enables us to experience all energies

    Some people ask, “Consciousness is an energy. Why can’t it be considered another material energy, like heat or electricity? Why consider it spiritual?”
    Because consciousness is categorically different from all material energies – it enables us to experience all energies.
    Suppose heat energy in the form of afternoon sunrays falls on a person’s head. That person experiences the heat as a scorching sensation. But the heat doesn’t experience anything – neither its own temperature, nor the burning sensation it has triggered in the person. The energy of consciousness flowing through that person’s body makes them experience the heat.
    To illustrate further, suppose a short circuit causes electricity to flow through a person, rendering them unconscious due to electric shock. Initially, as long as they are conscious, they experience horror, fear and pain at the sensation of the electricity running through their body. Subsequently, even though electricity may still keep running through their body, they won’t experience anything because consciousness is no longer present in their body. Thus, consciousness’ presence enables them to experience electricity, whereas consciousness’ absence disables that experience.
    Where does this consciousness come from? It can’t come from matter, which is unconscious being made of unconscious fundamental particles. No matter what form it takes, matter doesn’t have the capacity to experience matter. The Bhagavad-gita explains that consciousness comes from the soul.
    The Gita (13.34) indicates that just as the sun illuminates the universe with light, the soul illuminates the body with consciousness. Thus, consciousness is energy, but as it comes from the spiritual soul, it is spiritual energy.
    When we understand that our consciousness is non-material, we get the intellectual conviction to look beyond matter in our quest for pleasure. Bhakti-yoga trains us to fix our consciousness on the highest spiritual reality, Krishna, thereby granting the supreme non-material fulfillment.
