Chapter 4.
>
> After reading through this chapter I found myself also wondering about
> where our consciousness comes from..Before I guess I was of the opinion
> that it was just the firing of electrical signals in the brain.. which it
> probably is but the book made me wonder a little more about the whole
> thing.. Like if it is just neurons firing in our brains.. does that mean
> that my dogs brain which also fires neurons makes him also a conscious
> being , that is conscious beyond just recognizing conditioning that I
> taught him.. does he know that the world is more then what he can see at a
> given instance.. probably not.. so if not what happens in the brain beyond
> the firing of neurons that makes us conscious beings..
> I thought it almost comforting although to think that physics could
> explain it all, but the points that were made in the book did bring up
> questions.. like since a the table isn't really solid according to atomic
> position is that what's real. I'm pretty sure in my reality it is
> solid..
> It seems to some degree that reality is in the eye of the beholder.. I can
> remember a couple of instances in my life when someone I knew had a
> completely different interpretation of an event. Even though it was
> obvious to me what had "really" happened the other person involved would
> probably go to their grave disputing that.. witnesses or no witnesses.. I
> always just figured they just didn't want to face the true.. Maybe in
> their version of reality that is exactly what happened. I'm probably just
> talking nonsense .. but that's what came to mind when I was reading about
> reality.
