The engine which powers free will in biology is the delivery of momentum observables along mesoscopic microtuble pathways through proto- conscious focus. This engine powers the delivery of the male's DNA to the female's egg, and powers cell division to create new life from single cells of coalesing strands of DNA which can create and sustain whole bodies with arms, legs, organs and fully aware brains. In the brain, microtubles are fixed in place in neuronal, ion channel enabled pathways, to recreate harmonies in orchestrated playback of quantum symphonies of past and future visionary compositions. God is consciousness, consciousness is the quantum ocean, and we are waves on the quantum see from which the universe, momentum and free will emerges.
I like Bernardo and have also interview him. I think consciousness emerges as a part of the hierarchy of life. And humans are lucky enough to be near the top of the hierarchy and we have learned how to operate our consciousness that is more complex due to this hierarchy. This was designed into creation by the creator. The higher up this hierarchy, maybe more power/energy is given and eventually we learn how/have the ability to communicate with the creator through what we call prayer. So I break with Bernardo a bit on materialism. I think we were given this material world as a playground and/or a sandbox to use our free will to be creative and when we pass, we cross over more of a non physical world where maybe our spirit gets to come back again and again :)
If a fourth special Dimension exists an infinite three-dimensional spatial potentiality exist and if infinite three-dimensional spatial potentiality exist then some might misinterpret this as free will existing but it is infinite with a limited acceleration towards Infinity.
lol, then why is he dressing up tired centuries old philosophical takes despite that there's no actual evidence for any of his claims and no explanation for consciousness in sight? This guy is up there right claiming computers don't look like brains so they can't ever be conscious... That's the level of scientific analysis this man operates on and you think he is omg the most important scientist in the world, yeesh.
I am a physicist and I will explain why our scientific knowledge refutes the idea that consciousness is generated by the brain and that the origin of our mental experiences is physical/biological . My argument proves that the fragmentary structure of brain processes implies that brain processes are not a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness, which existence implies the existence in us of an indivisible unphysical element, which is usually called soul or spirit (in my youtube channel you can find a video with more detailed explanations). I also argue that all emergent properties are subjective cognitive contructs used to approximately describe underlying physical processes, and that these descriptions refer only to mind-dependent entities. Consciousness, being implied by these cognitive contructs, cannot itself be an emergent property. Preliminary considerations: the concept of set refers to something that has an intrinsically conceptual and subjective nature and implies the arbitrary choice of determining which elements are to be included in the set; what exists objectively are only the single elements. In fact, when we define a set, it is like drawing an imaginary line that separates some elements from all the other elements; obviously this imaginary line does not exist physically, independently of our mind, and therefore any set is just an abstract idea, a cognitive construct and not a physical entity and so are all its properties. Similar considerations can be made for a sequence of elementary processes; sequence is a subjective and abstract concept.
Mental experience is a precondition for the existence of subjectivity/arbitrariness and cognitive constructs, therefore mental experience cannot itself be a cognitive construct; obviously we can conceive the concept of consciousness, but the concept of consciousness is not actual consciousness. (With the word consciousness I do not refer to self-awareness, but to the property of being conscious= having a mental experiences such as sensations, emotions, thoughts, memories and even dreams). From the above considerations it follows that only indivisible elements may exist objectively and independently of consciousness, and consequently the only logically coherent and significant statement is that consciousness exists as a property of an indivisible element. Furthermore, this indivisible entity must interact globally with brain processes because we know that there is a correlation between brain processes and consciousness. This indivisible entity is not physical, since according to the laws of physics, there is no physical entity with such properties; therefore this indivisible entity can be identified with what is traditionally called soul or spirit. The soul is the missing element that interprets globally the distinct elementary physical processes occurring at separate points in the brain as a unified mental experience. Some clarifications. The brain doesn't objectively and physically exist as a mind-independent entity since we create the concept of the brain by separating an arbitrarily chosen group of quantum particles from everything else. This separation is not done on the basis of the laws of physics, but using addictional subjective criteria, independent of the laws of physics; actually there is a continuous exchange of molecules with the blood and when and how such molecules start and stop being part of the brain is decided arbitrarily. Brain processes consist of many parallel sequences of ordinary elementary physical processes occurring at separate points. There is no direct connection between the separate points in the brain and such connections are just a subjective abstractions used to approximately describe sequences of many distinct physical processes. Indeed, considering consciousness as a property of an entire sequence of elementary processes implies the arbitrary definition of the entire sequence; the entire sequence as a whole (and therefore every function/property/capacity attributed to the brain) is a subjective abstraction that does not refer to any mind-independendent reality. Physicalism/naturalism is based on the belief that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. However, an emergent property is defined as a property that is possessed by a set of elements that its individual components do not possess; my arguments prove that this definition implies that emergent properties are only subjective cognitive constructs and therefore, consciousness cannot be an emergent property. Actually, all the alleged emergent properties are just simplified and approximate descriptions or subjective/arbitrary classifications of underlying physical processes or properties, which are described directly by the fundamental laws of physics alone, without involving any emergent properties (arbitrariness/subjectivity is involved when more than one option is possible; in this case, more than one possible description). An approximate description is only an abstract idea, and no actual entity exists per se corresponding to that approximate description, simply because an actual entity is exactly what it is and not an approximation of itself. What physically exists are the underlying physical processes. Emergence is nothing more than a cognitive construct that is applied to physical phenomena, and cognition itself can only come from a mind; thus emergence can never explain mental experience as, by itself, it implies mental experience. My approach is scientific and is based on our scientific knowledge of the physical processes that occur in the brain; my arguments prove that such scientific knowledge excludes the possibility that the physical processes that occur in the brain could be a sufficient condition for the existence of consciousness.

The Oracle from our Veldhoven! Bernardo has a unique quite sharp and sobering view on things. What kind of bothers me (and Bernardo kind of hints at that) is that our so called experts on neurosciences, still appear to think that base consciousness requires neurons to begin with. As I stressed so many times; I wish they had a look at the many youtube posts of lacrymaria; a fierce and tenacious hunter, extremely aware of its surroundings. Lacrymaria has no Neurons. It is a single cell creature. So by definition Neurons are no prerequisite for base consciousness. Meta consciousness might require it. Perhaps. But the real question we must first expand upon is; is whatever constitutes base consciousness seated solely in the tiny spacetime cocoon of an individual Lacrymaria? Looking at the complex behaviour of this tiny miracle of creation our default answer should be ‘no’. the main physical tool for this would then be Lacrymaria’s microtubiles which offer the potential of quantum coherence. And Quantum coherence in turn would offer a means of neuron-like connectivity we call entanglement. Entangling literally countless other lacrymaria anywhere in the universe to create what we call base-consciousness in individual samples. The work of Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff on microtubiles is the most promising new path for anyone interested in consciousness. There are two types of grids. It is about time we think of that. I wish the discussion on consciousness would focus on these phyisical facts first and only then speculate into the yet unknown.
Consciousness is not unlike things we see around us that seem similar. Everyone knows animals express some 'human like' behavior or 'sentiments'. Consciousness is a permission slip with each expressing capacity in accordance with its role. As far as 'let us make man in our image'...this is what made the angels jealous. The 'seed of man' has gifts that others may not and in my opinion the world we are living in demostrates this very thing. Consciouness is not based in the brain. There isnt nearly as much soveriegnty associated with consciousness as people prefer to believe. The brain is an interface and there is a delay as 'thinking' is transferred from one place to the other. Those who are positioned properly can 'see' what you think...and respond to it... before you even realise what that is yourself
The last 30 yr most of what I've witnessed being studied I can't place in the physical perception category..

Population species is one of these foundational tools where the slightest variations can make even experts talk past each other. These are projected into other avenues that increases much of our division where we lack indentefiers to hold accountable on. Imo everything that jwst is tasting in the stars and cmb to a degree only makes sense objectively and not physically. I don't have any issues with hamiltonian oscillating waves subjective properties correlated with idealized time it makes more sigma 6 sense to me than it does from the hieseberg physical approach where uncertainty tells us our pov perception just goes against the grain of nature's orientation and direction .

I think the big difference would be obvious when evolution was mentioned. Kastrup rarely (if ever?) considers it - he needs to. Hoffman is unduly obsessed with it - as if the usefulness of consciousness created it. Both have some great insights.
Infinity is something that we can't fully explain using physical means, yet we know that it must exist. For example, if the universe were not infinite, it would have a border. And if the space beyond the universe also had a border, then the same principle would apply, creating an endless cycle. This ultimately leads to the concept of "Physical Infinity," which is a paradoxical idea. And, one can't accept physical infinity while rejecting metaphysical ideas like consciousness without being hypocritical.
there is no objective proof of consciousness neither a subjective proof its the subject that is proof by itself but as long as the subject is caught in the illusion of a me, you, him its unaware of the oneness of consciousness there is no freedom in unawareness

It's an interplay of both. I just haven't seen anything with enough explanatory power at solely a materialist level. (I was once a materialist also) I will be interested to see where Orch OR goes. However, I have no proof of this. I changed my mind after a very forceful experience caused me to reexamine.
