If we were actually just pieces of matter we wouldn't be able to actually feel anything as we do. Think about the brain as a very complex computer. It interacts with the world by using sensors which are basically neurons connected to the brain through the nervous system. For every feeling detected (pain, pleasure, the images you constantly see, etc) the brain processes an output. For example, if you put your hand over a fire you will immediately take it out because the brain quickly processed the necessary output based on the pain feeling. The same happens even with your conscious part, which is able to take more complex decisions and isn't based on primitive patterns.

If I can make a computer that mimics how the brain processes feelings, thoughts and emotions, does it mean it can feel like we do? Apparently this has already been made with the brain of a fruit fly. Obviously not.

So, if the brain is just matter, how is it that I can feel instead of just reacting to inputs based on purely physical and logical organic systems?

My theory is this is because we own a soul.

You are retard and don't understand biology.

Wow what an original thought. It's not like every high schooler taking a philosophy class has thought of this.

You just misinterpreted everything I said for the sake of getting mad like the dog you are.

This has literally nothing to do with biology. You can't talk in a scientific book about something you can't prove scientifically.

What I'm saying is you aren't just a very complx computer (which is what can actually be proven and is) because you would just be a piece of meat that can interact with the world. You don't just simulate emotions and feelings. Instead you actually feel them, as if you had something that isn't matter or physical.

If I can simulate a human brain inside a computer, does it automatically gain the ability to feel as we do or that just happens if it's organic matter? That's the point

I think consciousness is broadcast undetectable by our current technology from somewhere else. I have nothing but a hunch and cryptic symbolism in my dreams.
