I couldn't hold the eyelids up last night, so I'm listening now, and I'll scroll vicariously through the thread.

After listening to Art’s interview with Dr. Robert Lanza, I found myself less than fully satisfied with his references to consciousness. It seemed as though he thought of consciousness as something that could exist without any particular entity being conscious; that is, although consciousness was required in order for anything to exist, he didn’t really focus on who or what was conscious. That conscious entity could be individual or collective, it seems to me, but there needs to be somebody who is being conscious.

This led to his sort of dancing around the whole notion of the Big Bang; I get that, from his perspective, the important thing about the Big Bang is that there is someone now who is aware of it, and that more or less extends that awareness/consciousness back to the event itself, since time is a kind of manufactured notion. But this only brings me back again to the question of who. You? Me? Everybody or anybody? God? Does this make us God?

I’ve been reading Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novel Soul Music, and at one point there is mention that scientists have been able to uncover the sounds that occurred just before the Big Bang. Apparently there was a voice, which said, “One, two… one, two, three, four.” That works for me.

When Lanza was talking about the multiverse[s], in which any possible reality already exists, I couldn’t help thinking of George Carlin’s routine about growing up Irish Catholic, in which he explains that the important thing about sinning (or not sinning) was a person’s intent, the “wanna.” You had to wanna sin, or else it really wasn’t, and the wanna itself constituted a sin. “So if you get up in the morning and say to yourself, ‘I’m going down to 42nd Street and commit a mortal sin,’ save your carfare, man. You already did it!”
