I have been thinking about consciousness and how it seems to be conspicuously avoided by academics.
Why is it that we can map the synapses of the brain to a degree that we could add an electrical signal to a specific area of your cerebral cortex to induce a reflex to make your arm shoot out but we cannot begin to explain the energy type (for lack of a better word) that consciousness derives from?
Why is subjective experience dismissed by so called "scholarly" individuals when it comes to consciousness and it's role in the formation of our perception of reality?
