I’m doing a project and want to know what everyone thinks are three things necessary (besides life and a brain) for consciousness. Preferably human consciousness. If you feel as if there’s more, or actually know if there is a factual list of things that are necessary, then feel free to post more. I’d like the answers to be serious, but funny things are alright as well.
Our evolution has allowed us to recognize our existence.
Our need to survive has forced our evolution.
We now ask ourselves, why?
Our brain is extremely complex.
The brain would be useless without our five senses to load in information.
Consciousness is the state of being aware of what is going on around you.
The senses allow this.
I know we all feel there is more to it than that.
A soul perhaps?
This is an extra sense.
The brain likes a complete picture.
When there is none, it will complete it.
This is where alot of interesting things happen.
It’s called imagination.

haha I like them all!!!
All living things need to survive. We all will change to do so.
I think stimulation is a very important factor for conciousness. Even when we feel bored, or really understimulated, (is that a word, lol) there are objects around us, touching us, things to look at, there usually is going to be light, even when you are lying in bed in the dark, your matress is touching you, so all these things are stimulus for the brain, even though we probly dont think of it like that.
The ability to:
Access knowledge stored in memory.
Adjust thinking in response to a changing environment.
Empathize with other sentient beings.
