HOW DOES CONSCIOUSNESS ARISE? (1:00 1:30) <\/p>\n
Andres Gomez Emilsson says neural signaling by classical means doesnt seem sufficient for to achieve global binding due to signal travel time <\/p>\n
Randal A. Koene says the brain (at least during times of conscious awareness) appears to be operating in a more discretized manner, where signal travel time is much smaller than the discrete intervals and therefore must be perceived as unitary and instantaneous even without non-classical causes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
SECOND AMENDMENT: RIGHT TO BEAR ARMS (1:40 2:25) <\/p>\n
Question: Should there be stricter gun laws, to improve public safety? Or should laws stay the same, because USA freedom includes access to firearms? <\/p>\n
Anti-Guns: Scott Jackish, Robert Wasley <\/p>\n
Pro-Guns: Anatoly Karlin, Mike Johnson <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
EUGENICS (2:40 3:40) <\/p>\n
Questions: Do you want a future with Mandatory Pre-Natal Diagnoses, Designer Babies, One-or-Two Child Policies, and Parent Licenses that limit how many children you have? <\/p>\n
Should there be a transhumanist goal that all humans should have 140 IQ, plus great health and beauty? With Eugenics helping to achieve that? <\/p>\n
Or do you think the government should NEVER meddle in Reproduction? <\/p>\n
Pro-Eugenics: Andre Gomez Emilsson, Hank Pellissier, Anya Petrova <\/p>\n
Anti-Eugenics: Marc McAllister, Ted Peters, Brian Hanley <\/p>\n
