Biological for sure

Why so?

Social ones seem to be more important, and with the rapid advance of technology, we will be able to change many of our biological characteristics.

-*When does human consciousness begin?*
<@&682288520680964151>

A few hours after birth it appears

I doubt it begins so quickly.

Definition of consciousness or do I have to decide it?

Probably slowly developing from the first week to the seventh month.

Human consciousness is being aware that you're a human.

then yes

I don't think an infant is capable of understanding what a human is.

though I would guess that level of awareness that we might describe as consciousness would appear pretty late

eh

The infant knows they're alive, they know that their mother will provide them food and all, but they just can't understand what a human is.

Because a newborn animal knows they're alive and that their mother provides them food as well.

I honestly prefer this definition - the quality or state of being aware especially of something within oneself

though consciousness would fully probably develop couple of months after birth

there are some signs of awareness through the entire development

but if I have to put an arbitrary line

an year after birth at the latest possible.

but calling babies before that unconsciousness would be disingenuous

@Koninos when "I" say so.

Budum tsss

@Koninos I think that's self conciousness/self certainty

Conciousness would be when we are more just *aware* in general

At a certain point in gestation I believe we demonstrate basic awareness

it's both
genetics sets base level and society is how we target it.
Somebody that would be a warlord 500 years ago won't have much use in present society.

Yeah no.

In psychology, consciousness usually begins at the age of 2 for realizing you are a living being.

isn't conscious more tough?

seems kinda weird that somebody isn't conscious

Human consciousness, not consciousness alone.

@Koninos is that communism?

?

Human consciousness, working in unity, perhaps... Is communism?

Collaboration is communism lmao
