@philosophy awareness can be subconscious though, so consciousness can't be it's own opposite.

Thus "mind" is the better word since it is not internally contradictory.

You can continue to use the word consciousness, but I think that's sewing confusion.

@philosophy sight attention/focus can still be subconscious.

What is the opposite of subconsciousness?

If subconscious awareness if a kind of consciousness, then what is subconsciousness? What is its opposite?

Maybe there is a better word for this, but I don't think that word is consciousness. I actually hate using that word because it can mean so many different things and is caused more confusion than it solves, and thus fails the purpose of language itself.

@philosophy Again, what you're calling consciousness, I simply call "mind". Mind makes sense out of the information coming in from the senses, but this happens . . . wait for it . . . Subconsciously, meaning at a different level than the consciousness.

Hence definition #2, wherein consciousness is the opposite of subconsciousness, which is intellect and deliberate thought.

I believe "mind" is the better word for the layer between senses and the self-aware ego "consciousness" (see definition 3)

@Pain66 @houseoftolstoy He bought Twitter in order to sell Tesla shares while they were still overpriced without causing a panic.

Generally when the CEO is dumping shares, it causes normal investors to dump shares too, so Elon needed an excuse to sell Tesla shares without appearing to dump shares, like say . . . buying a random company for tens of billions of dollars.

@spectre chai is the name of a tea blend (usually black tea) which is flavored with Indian spices like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, etc.

What do you call that kind of tea to differentiate it from other teas?

@Pain66 they don't know what they don't know. They know what they're told and they seek the path of least resistance from there.

Thinking for themselves and being independent is a threat to their inclusion within the herd. They survive by conforming and being accepted.

I will dub this tea "Yin Yang Tea" because I see a lot of yin yang symbols incorporating a dragon and tiger and the boxes for the Green Tea and "Bengal Spice" herbal tea have a dragon and a tiger on them.

since green chai tea is hard to find (most use black tea) I mixed green tea with herbal tea which had chai spices and it was DEEEEELICIOUS.

I'll include what is in the "Bengel Spice" herbal tea since it's not obvious.

@Scubbie Censoring yourself and coloring within the lines of YouTube won't save you. Eventually you'll be shut down regardless.

@philosophy That's a valid way of looking at it. I would just call the "mediator point between the subminds" the mind, which indeed mediates between the senses. I wouldn't call the senses "subminds" and call the mind "consciousness". However, it looks like we're both describing the same thing with different words, so it's whatever.

@s8n @Yorsshitposter Yeah, Hell is likely a European addition, taken from the Nordic underworld (ruled by Hel). Also the Devil is a knockoff of the Celtic "horned God" Cernunnos.

Christians absorbed and assimilated pagan religions as all religions inevitably do as they expand, but they pretend they didn't for some reason. Oh well.

Happy Saturnalia.

@s8n @Yorsshitposter If Saint Peter exists and Christianity is true, then I'll have it coming for multiple reasons. I'm not exactly shaking in your little monkey booties though.

@s8n @Yorsshitposter Hopefully Saint Peter is understanding about the whole "Our Lord and Savior Spinning Robot Pussy" thing.

@Yorsshitposter Yeah, but where has it gotten me? They're still on YouTube will hundreds of thousands of subs, selling soap to incels.

I'm on Mastodon with nazis and lolicons, and have been deplatformed more than Kanye West.
