Questions
A Chain of Questions
1.If reality is only the material world, then what is the self?
2.If neurons are the activity of neurons, then why does human experience seem so real? According to David Chalmers, why does experience arise from the activity of the brain? If this is what happens in nature, just like the Big Bang, then this is natural.
3.Is it possible to explain subjective experiences with materialism? When we perceive an object as red, how does materialism explain it? Maybe materialism would say that light first goes to the retina of the person and creates neural signals that give color information to the brain, but can materialism record this process? Why does materialism believe in what can be felt but not directly seen? Isn't that contradictory to materialism? How does materialism explain the invisibility of internal experience?
4.If all thoughts are the result of biochemical processes, how reliable is the truth felt?
5.If everything happens in nature according to the law of cause and effect, then how does free will function in nature at that moment? If everything is predetermined, does nature function automatically behind it?
6.If there is no free will, then is moral responsibility invisible? If every decision is predetermined according to the function of cause and effect, then how does nature make this determination? In what way and with what technology does materialism observe that visual process?
7.Materialism does not accept any permanent spiritual consciousness; it explains everything on the basis of neurons and matter. So why does it fail to explain dark matter? If dark matter is said to be the cause of the expansion of the universe, how will materialism explain it? Materialism fails to immediately answer the question of whether dark matter is the main cause of the expansion of the universe.
8.Why does materialism seek matter behind every effect? Why does it define matter first and then the effect?
9.Why are the laws of nature so mathematical and well-organized? If the laws of nature are a combination of physics, philosophy, and mathematics, how will materialism define them together?
10.If the human search for meaning is part of the brain's reward system from a materialist perspective, then why is it not necessary to indicate a deeper reality from a materialist perspective?
