has ANYONE ever experienced consciousness emerging from matter?

comment

• what Spira is getting at is that there is a fundamental category confusion
  • deep down, matter is an abstract concept
  • matter is NOT a phenomenological experience
  • from this perspective, a phenomena cannot emerge from a concept
  • in fact a concept ALWAYS emerges from consciousness, not the other way around
  • the claim that consciousness emerges from brains is a fundamental category error that makes an impossible claim
    • that phenomena emerges from a concept
