a sequence of discrete events, arising from alternating phases of 1) isolated quantum coherent superposition (in which microtubule quantum states are isolated by actin gelation), and 2) classical input/output in which microtubule information communicates with the non-conscious portions of the brain, nervous system and outside world.

Anyway I think we have consciousness merely by the fact that we are having this conversation in an attempt to further understand our own being. If we weren't conscious then we would not have any reason to (or way to) understand ourselves.

Also I think creating a computer which functions like our brain does is impossible because our brain has X number of "ifs" as you call them and Y number of them are used for process that don't require us to think about(i.e. heartbeat, breathing) but still take up our thought process.

We cannot comprehend our brains because we cannot utilize the entire brain.

I'm interested in these kinds of questions, so I'll look into all the stuff you wrote about, and maybe come to a conclusion I am satisfied with.

If anyone likes Star Trek, check out Season 2 Episode 9 of The Next Generation. It's called "The Measure of a Man", and Data is ordered to transfer off the Enterprise. He counters by resigning from Star Fleet. But is Data, being a machine, considered the property of Star Fleet? Does he have the right to choose? The question ultimately comes down to whether Data is conscious or not.

such as my green isn't the same color as someone else's green

not related to computers but is one person's reality the same as another's?

such as my green isn't the same color as someone else's green

You know, I've actually thought about this for some time now. I don't think the people that followed up on that post really were sure what you're talking about however. For clarification, everyone is taught their basic colors in kindergarten. Everyone knows what brown, red, yellow etc look like. But what if brown to you looked like your purple to me? Or your green looked like your blue to me, and I still called it green? The point is, do we all see the exact same thing when we look around a room, or do we all see different colors?

We probably don't see the same thing as each other, however there is no real way to prove it, since we all know of each color with a name, regardless of what shade we see.

That doesn't mean our eyes all see the same color from the same wavelength of light. While I see your point (believe me, I've thought about this many times), I still think that it's hard to just say that any one given wavelength with always look the same to every person (excluding color blindness to eliminate confusion).

also you know that there are colours that aren't visable to the humans eyes?

imagine all the colors that are out there it doesn't neccasarly mean that instaed of my green you see purple, you could see a colour I've never seen in my life instead of green

Unless you mean there are NO colours or shades in common from human's brain to human's brain. Is that what you're saying? Okay, maybe, but what's the point of saying that? Relative to our own colour spectrum, we all still see the same world and none of us could see anything from another person's world. I highly, highly, highly doubt this.
