10 Point Post

The Posthuman Conception of Consciousness: A 10-point Guide by Robert Pepperell

1. Consciousness is not restricted to the brain. / Consciousness is the
function of an organism, not an organ.

2. The human body is not separate from its environment. / Nothing can be
external to a human because the extent of a human cannot be fixed.

3. Consciousness, body and environment are all continuous.

4. Consciousness emerges from specific conditions.

5. Everything is energy.

6. No things exist as separate things in themselves.

7. Language divides us.

8. Language is not all of reality, but part of it.

9. Consciousness is the sum of all the distinctions we make through language.

10. Culture is a way of defragmenting consciousness.
