How do you define consciousness?

Consciousness Awakening - Ralph Buckley

[DrPepper12]

A consciousness that recognizes self with agency, free will, independence, reaction to sensory inputs, emotive and rational, memory and a prime directive of self preservation.

Anything that can respond to a stimuli, Is consciousness in my definition. which include, humans, animals, plants, fungi.

however, generally, it is considered, that consciousness is defined by self-awareness.

Why is this " Opinion by a user you blocked or were blocked by" written twice down there below my opinion, Do you see this too, Asker?

This is a good question.

I'm gonna have to come back to it. Still thinking about it 😆.

I would group with others about the self awareness but I’d also like to add and word it as deeper understanding.

It’s knowing how you and the world around you work on multiple levels.

I would say consciousness is also just life and electricity.

Our brains lose this when we die.

It loses its sanity when we are not sober.

When one is drunk and absent minded passing out or dying. This happens. It’s the opposites brought forth and receding what we have now.

Concept of reality is knowing how the world works and us in it. It’s self awareness and awareness. Aka deep understanding because it’s not something you have just from learning the letters of the alphabet or the colors of the rainbow.

It’s having a broad understanding. Being able to see the big picture and also just being alive both the most profound kind of thought and comprehension and yet also the simplest actuality and reality. The simplest fact of just merely being alive.

Consciousness is both Deep understanding and life/wakefulness.

It’s something I think I STILL have to think about and will keep learning about.

I don't know if this was the algorithm or if you selected my opinion but I appreciate it 😂 I feel awful I left it unanswered for so long, but I didn’t want to be so impulsive to respond to such a deep question like this. It’s truly great. 💯

The ability to perceive yourself and the world around you

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Self awareness. I think only some people have consciousness. Those who dont would probably still be reincarnated which is why they're life risky and not so wise. Those who do are self aware because its probably their last life.

A collection if memories and emotional responses that coalesce into a relatively singular whole.

[MrGSpotHer]

Something that is aware of self, it's surroundings, form some kind of communication with same or other life forms and the need to do what it needs to survive...

[NathanDavis]

the brain... named itself...
