Insights on consciousness and freedom

[CreamCat]

1. Consciousness

On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SM4YsjDf-ck, michio kaku talks about our machine-like nature and consciousness.

He defines degree of consciousness. Simple biological creatures like bees have very low levels of consciousness. Humans have high levels of consciousness and thus are capable of enlightenment.

2. Freedom

On https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rXQDg12GHk, Christopher Gladwell says the one freedom we have as human beings is where we place our attention. Given that is the one freedom we have, in the digital age most people have no freedom. If you don't control your attention, you are just a biological machine dragged into chain reactions of thoughts and feelings that boggle up in your own mind.
