Is that emergent phenomenon consciousness?

Consciousness is an emergent phenomenon of the mind.

Where is software on your computer located?

Physically loaded into the computer

You’re not ready for this conversation yet. I feel bad because I know I’ll get **** for it and you’ll come up with some kind condescending lol but it’s true. You need to either drop this subject permanently or meditate on it until you understand what I’ve been trying to teach you. I know you know that consciousness is only material but then you make a statement like that that’s drenched in ignorant mysticism - you started this thread - you can keep it - but, intellectually you’re not ready yet.

You can keep posturing but you're not fooling me for a second.

Physically stored on your computer where? where is the software? Is it the **** on your heard drive? Is it the **** in your memory? The bits flowing through your cpu? Is it the images on your screen that you click and drag? Or functionally speaking is it all of the above? It's an entity in and of itself that operates on the platform your computer provides. It's not your computer though.

Similarly, your brain is a computer. It's a machine that uses neurochemical signals to process information. That information is not the neurochemical signals in your brain, though. It's merely represented by it. And those neurochemical signals themselves that form your mind aren't your brain itself. They're a product of your brain.

I encourage you to stop

I encourage you to stop pretending to have any more authority on this subject than the rest of us. You've been demonstrated to be full of **** several times in this thread alone and you keep trucking along like you're right.
