The way I see it, consciousness is the direct result of our brains being able to comprehend the world outside of us as well as us at the same time. It’s a human concept to explain the brains ability to perceive its self and the world around it

Fair enough. Dismember is the reason I'm going to Maryland Deathfest 2024.

I see. Do you personally whisper things to yourself when no one is around.. You know how people talk to themselves out loud, do you whisper it?

This. Codependency refers to the person who is reliant on being depended upon, not the person who is dependent.

It’s classically seen in family and partners of people with drug or alcohol problems. If someone spends a lot of time complaining about their partner’s drinking, for example, but still puts them in situations where they’d be tempted to drink/shields them from significant consequences/pushes - consciously or otherwise - on triggers for drinking, etc, and then gets a certain amount of fulfilment out of being the one who can save the day, retrieve the lost car, fix the broken bag, rearrange the missed appointment, smooth over the disagreements, eyeroll ‘oh well you know what they’re like, they’d be helpless without me!’…

That’s codependency.

I will absolutely grant you that there are a lot of practical things to take into consideration to manage the transition. And it would indeed require for there to be an overlap-period where we pay for both.

But those are merely practical issues to work with. Not insurmountable problems that should stop this altogether from even getting started.

Cool, now I am confused.

they dont know precisely.
But its an emergent property of the complexity of the brain.
A bit like how 'wetness' is an emergent property of water molecules:
one water molecule is not 'wet' nor is a 100
but the complex interactions of countless water molecules feels wet.

So one neurone is not conscious
but the complex interaction of countless neurones gives conciousness

>C = 1.8 * F + 32

Actually, it's F = 1.8 * C + 32

RE: playlist advice.

DUH . . . clearly requires some Swedish Death Metal to at least make an attempt at something life affirming.

Technically, Waffle House is NOT a Strip Club. That being said, Waffle House is also technically not a sanctioned venue for combat sports, either.

Judge your need for waffles accordingly . . . and have your phone camera ready.

Sure it won't.

As with speed of light the answer is also no even if you put a third train on top of the second. But I fear I am not able to eli5 this.

They're pretty cool, if you read about them. Most of them are lattice based and working in thousands of dimensions.

I know the answer. I just thought it is a bit more fun question.

But apparently some people here struggle even with the OP's original question from middle school. Newton's first law. Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.

The exceptions fall in the experimental area of encryption. What I mean by that is that the most applications you use today, WhatsApp, Signal, Banking apps, are all encrypted with a military grade encryption, but if you go try out experimental encrypting algorithms then you are at risk. Note that the latter does not happen in your regular day to day life, encryption standards are extremely uniform.

Edit: also, be aware that the applications that have implemented an unbreakable encryption algorithm can still decrypt your files as they have the keys to decrypt them. They're bound to not do it going by the privacy agreement but they potentially can. There are exceptions to it, like Apple's advanced E2E standard where not even Apple has your keys.

No it isn't, this person is trying to claim that relationships with normal give-and-take are being pathologized by "society" but a codependent relationship is one-sided. One person only takes and the other only gives, until they burn out (or are replaced by the taker).

They mean that encryption/decryption takes place on the source and destination devices, so in theory the servers and attackers in the middle can't read the traffic.

In practice, whoever holds and applies the keys can read the traffic. So if your end device is using code from the server to do this, potentially the server could give you malicious code and read your traffic. The solution is to have the encryption and the storage/transport done by different companies or projects. Use an encryption package such as PGP or Mailvelope, and then a service such as normal email.

No. Codependency is when one person relies on another for their needs, while the other neglects their own needs to support their partner, who does not reciprocate the support. A healthy couple gives and takes in turn, a codependent couple is one person leeching off another. Generally the supporting partner has low self esteem and derives their sense of self-worth from providing, but this becomes untenable as their own needs go unmet and they eventually burn out.

The downside to that is I can see many hospitals closing because it would be regulated by the government and they would choose what hospitals could remain open.

You can not say it wouldn't happen because since when has the government ever walked away from an opportunity to screw the public over. I mean they are now trying to screw over veterans just like Canada.

They (elected officials) should have been forced to give up their healthcare when Obamacare passed, I think that they should be exempt from any laws they pass to us the citizens.

The Biggest portion of US budget is spent on healthcare- more than 30%.

Government doesn’t spend trillions on military. Count goes in billions which is thousand times less than trillions.

It's "co"dependent because usually the one person relies entirely on the other for their needs and the other person relies on being needed for their sense of purpose. Person A can't handle their life responsibilities and Person B feels useless unless they are constantly proving their worth by doing for others (and usually neglecting themselves).

A child is naturally dependent, but if the mother makes mothering her whole identity and worth in life, now it's a codependancy (and there will likely be issues as the child naturally becomes more independent and the mother resists losing her sense of self).

One of my favorite albums, yet you would never find me at a strip club lol.

That is incorrect information. Firefighters, police, road maintenance and public schools are regulated and maintained by local governments- state and primarily town. Military is shared between federal and state.

There are many towns in US without police departments. There are many towns in US that have only volunteered firefighters or no firefighters at all. There are US towns with worlds worst schools, with worlds best schools and without schools at all- and kids go to schools in nearby towns.

Truly universal services would mean- no matter how much you pay you get approx the same public service quality. In case of US- you live in poor town - you get poor service.

Actually a pretty good explanation. Thank you. Even my head understands it :D

Good question.

A somewhat correct but useless answer is that it arises from the complexity of the brain. We have no idea how though.

The philosophical answer is that consciousness arises when the outer is separated from the inner (outer being the world, inner being you) and at the same time when the outer in reflected in the inner (for example, when the brain creates a model of reality inside it). That contradiction between what you think is real and what is actually real, along with the separation of the ego from the whole, is consciousness.
