[Beginning of recorded material]
Rick Rosner: I have beliefs that don’t entirely coincide with that view; it still comes from the same place from both, in math and science, and the rules of existence from which we get the laws of physics and the rules of existence don’t preclude theistic type of things.
I believe that consciousness is not a mystical property bestowed by some nebulous, invisible, omnipotent being that we’ve been imbued or endowed with special magical fluid that animates our experience of the world. Instead, I believe that consciousness is a technical property of information being shared in the brain.
