Working on a self-authored thought experiment, would appreciate (THOUGHTFUL!) critiques.
"
1. Human conscience can exist only via a vessel, that vessel being the brain, itself contained in a human body*.
2. Human bodies are confined to three-dimensional Cartesian space.
3. No two human bodies can occupy identical coordinates, and thus exist on some level in different conditions.
4. No two human bodies can experience precisely identical stimuli, given the limitation stated in (3).
5. Experiencing different stimuli, including the same stimuli experienced from differing perspectives, will – on some level, great or small – influence human thought and behavior in different ways.
6. Exposure to different influences will create, even in the case of physically (genetically) identical humans, different consciences."
I know it's rough (working on some statements about social norms in order to discuss morality), but whatever you can give me is helpful, thanks!
*Please ignore futuristic possibilities, like writing multiple consciences to a single hard drive.
