Evolution and awaretheory
More actions
The concept of evolution is usually applied to the concept of reproduction and change of the actual bodies of a species over time. One of the properties that some animals have developed through evolution is consciousness. Consciousness may be the most developed within the human species but other animals have developed types of consciousnesses or awarenesses that human do not have.
The concept of evolution can be applied to the concept of consciousness and ixperiencitness. Awaretheory says that consciousness is not a supernatural part of humanity but a natural part. Consciousness is produced naturally by the functioning of the body. There has been a positive evolution or increase in consciousness with the increase size and complexity of the brain of the different types of animals. Mankind believing that he is the most conscious of the animals. Consequently, there is this sense of evolution possible leading to greater or higher levels of consciousness. This can only happen when a higher level of consciousness can be made in the first place, and second when these animals' (humans'), with the higher levels of consciousness, can actually reproduce to the point of sustaining themselves and their population.
The goal or purpose of evolution is being able to change enough along with the changes in the environment to survive and reproduce. This goal has nothing to do with having to be conscious.
The concept of evolution can be applied to consciousness in the sense of survival and reproduction. One of the ideas in awaretheory says that a human consciousness does not have to be produced only by a human body. However, it still has to be produced by a material, but not necessarily a biological, body that is complex enough in its structure and functioning to produce a human level consciousness. The human body may not be the most efficient or best way to produce a human consciousness. Human bodies need space, air, food, water, etc. to survive, and a lot more to have a good life. All of this may be reproducible in an awarepaducer using much less matter and energy, much less space, much less destruction of other life forms, while still producing a productive, useful, conscious, human or enhanced human, life. Awarepaducers can be produced in space where they do not destroy the earth, using matter found else where in the solar system to build the awarepaducers, using sun light to supply energy and the cold of space to allow for superconductivity. Where as an earth like planet can support a few billion people with good management, organization, and enough knowledge, the human consciousnesses produced by awarepaducers circling around the sun could number in the hundred of trillions or more. Under these circumstances the survival and reproduction of human consciousnesses takes on a whole new meaning beside just the survival and reproduction of a human body.
What we care about is the survival and reproduction of human consciousnesses not just the human body. If humans were not conscious which means that human bodies did not produce an awareness of a reality we would not care if our bodies survived, reproduced, evolved, or not. We care about our bodies because we are conscious and believe that we are tied to our bodies. However awaretheory says that we are individually tied, not to a specific body, but to a number of different ways of producing a number of different of material structures and functioning produced by many different types of potential and actual material bodies. Survival, reproduction, and evolution takes on a whole new meaning with new understanding of what we really are. We are no longer tied to the survival and reproduction of just the human body for humanities' survival. And you personally are not tied to just your present actual or sensually created body for your conscious existence.
