The nervous system is electro-chemical. Thought's are the product of electro-chemical reactivity. Heat is one byproduct of a chemical reaction. Consciousness is another. Whilst science currently does not have a complete understanding of consciousness, all the experimental & observational evidence would lead a reasoned person, who is aware of that evidence, to conclude that consciousness is biological.

Therefore, the intrinsic fuel for consciousness is food & water (& external aspects that sustain the organisms bio systems within sustainable limits. E.g., temperature)

Scientifically, the explanations in this post are not controversial nor speculative (However, folk psychology, etc).

Organism that think (e.g., mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians & fish) #CognitivePsychology & don't think (e.g., plants, fungi, etc) evolved.

Conscious thoughts are #adaptations (adaptive), #maladaptations (maladaptive), #byproducts ("noise") & #malfunctions. (E.g., disease). Conscious thoughts are nature & nurture. For example, inheritance & learning (experience).

Beliefs either have an adaptive (e.g., placebo), maladaptive or benign quality. Understanding is adaptive. Misunderstanding is adaptive, if the mistake is recognised & leads to adaptation. If the mistake is implicit, the misunderstanding is maladaptive (e.g., dogma).

The human mind has evolved to be a general adaptive system (general intelligence). The more an individual organism is aware of their minds adaptive & maladaptive characteristics, the more generally adaptive that mind.

Humanity must adapt to sustain #ecology (environment). Does humanity, in general, have what it takes? Does humanity have sufficient general adaptive intelligence? Or is humanity ecologically maladapted?

Time will "tell".

my #android needs #repairs to its #power control chip. currently the chip is #malfunctioning and sending too much power to certain systems causing #malfunctions and power #overloads. you can see here the extreme amount of charge is causing dielectric breakdown in a power transfer cable! anyone certified to #repair my #droid? 💙🤖
