    Conscious thought is naturally a product of unconscious thought processes -- much like life is a product of chemical processes that are clearly not alive. But that doesn't mean conscious thought doesn't exist, or that life doesn't exist.https://twitter.com/anitaleirfall/status/1350581593031761920 …

        Every system that possesses property X must be encoded in a lower layer of abstraction, which often does not feature property X. Pointing this out does not negate that X is real, it indicates at which level of abstraction one should be looking for the origin of X.

        Reductionism is a dangerous philosophy. “a live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles, why should he be concerned by the death of a person he knew?"

        Illusions exist, or else what does it even mean to be illusory?

        Illusion: something that arise from the interpretation/model (e.g., in the brain) of the data (physical measures, interactions) but that is not in the data. Yet, this is not a rigorous definition.

        I know of some empirical evidence that back this statement (Benjamin Libet delayed conscious causation experiment & split brain patients being conciouss of unreal events), but I still believe that conciousness (and life for that matter) are ill-defined, which bias our views.

        There is no such thing as a planet. It's just a bunch of atoms held together by various fundamental forces at different temperatures.
