"Man's feeling of alienation has been intensified in the midst of a bureaucratized, impersonal mass society. The worst and final form of alienation is man's alienation from his own self. In a society that requires of man only that he perform competently his own particular social function, man becomes identified with this function, and the rest of his being is allowed to subsist as best it can - usually to be dropped below the surface of consciousness and forgotten" - William Barrett

Brother Paul, based on this conversation, I think you would be interested in a conversation with Dr. Necati Aydın. He recognizes the inadequacy of epistemology and ontology in knowledge, and brings forward the phenomenological approach to knowledge. He talks about causality too. His book, “Said Nursi and Science in Islam” was a game changer for me and completely influenced the direction of my research. I think it would be intriguing for you too.
Some say it the spirit of God in Adam that made us self conscient.

If you find yourself having difficulty following along. Get your vocabulary up to par!
If there is “consciousness” to explain by brain science then if you use only brain science terms as such then you eliminate the term ‘consciousness’ too. Hence any solution to the hard problem of consciousness must at least include the term ‘consciousness’ in the semantic equation and therefore complete elimination of the term consciousness in answer to the hard problem is a priori ridiculous. As such, it is impossible to provide a purely brain scientific answer to the question.❤

Mashallah , it might be easier to understand such a philosophical subject with a drawing 😁
What if you could map out every neurophysiological reaction in the brain (like code) and then trigger the same reactions in somebody else’s brain for any given activity? 🤔 then, if you cause a subjective experience using this process, wouldn’t that prove that these neurophysiological processes cause the subjective experience?
No matter how much we know we still know that we don't know the knower 😊
Sexist comment..in these sorts of discussions with men, I find it hard to get most intelligent secular men to consider a world beyond materiality. Quantum physics only confuses the issue more for them. But if you’re of an inclination to consider that all material phenomena has a correspondential spiritual source, (inexplicable to ‘science’) then the concept of the observer and the observed being interdependent is a lot easier to understand. Consciousness is the Divine, it is not some sort of material brain generated ‘reality’ or the sole purview of the human brain. Consciousness is a spiritual phenomena made manifest and I suspect is the source of myth and pantheistic belief.

Hamza fails to provide an alternative explanation to solve the outstanding problems of consciousness. There is no reason to believe that consciousness is anything more than the product of the actions of the neurons in our brains. He really doesn’t seem to have learned anything in all the years that he’s been debating religion.

Not everyone can access undergrad philosophy lectures. Also, you’re taking delivery out of the equation. The way he explains it is fairly clear and ultimately memorable. Surely, more than a Wikipedia page.
Hamza talks like a little kid As well as mo hijab
Animated but inane. Has no idea of what he’s trying to say. Long way to go buddy
Hamza can be eloquent with philosophical arguments against Atheism, but he is no scientist to disprove science. Let’s not forget that science is a branch of philosophy whether scientists would agree or not. There are semantic errors made by Hamza e.g. ‘elemental materialism.’ The word does not make sense because materialism is a philosophical term and elemental is a physical term. To conclude, God is God and man is man, yet God has not set any bars for measuring any physical phenomena around us.
And this whole conversation gets you nowhere.

It's just a summary of the hard problem of consciousness. Philosophy and logic get very tricky and paradoxical when deep things are self-referential or reflective. There are paradoxes with set theory and the liar's paradox. Personal Experience, by definition, is impossible to demonstrate or formulate a comprehensive mechanism. For religious believers, it's a favorite topic that fits nicely in the "God of the Gaps" strategy.
Hamza uses a lot of key words but where is the essence? I'm muslim but if Hamza is the standard of our debaters, we are in trouble.

Genetic fallacy.
"consciousness" as a general concept CAN be attributed to elecrtochemical processes, however the subjective experience of a particular consciousness, ie: the "thing" that observes that mind, can never be ... without a metaphysical explanation that is. That is the deliberately mistaken/forfeited concept by the so called "scientists".
