Background: Human beings influence one another's emotional, cognitive, and physiological states. Social neuroscience has documented inter-brain coupling during interaction, while research on anomalous perception has investigated whether information can be identified without recognised conventional sensory access. These findings do not establish a shared human consciousness or direct...
This paper explores the possibility that consciousness may be a fundamental property of matter rather than a phenomenon that emerges exclusively from complex biological brains. The physical universe contains matter that forms molecules, living organisms, and human brains. Brain activity is closely associated with conscious experience, but questions remain about how physical processes give rise...
The prevailing neurological orthodoxy equates the mind with neuronal activation. While empirically grounded, this reductionist paradigm fails to account for subjective experience, altered states of consciousness, and the profound influence of the body on cognition. This opinion challenges the neurocentric assumption and proposes a radical redefinition: The mind is an emergent, dynamic,...
Buddhism, one of the world's major philosophical and spiritual traditions, transcends religious practice to encompass ethics, psychology, and a practical framework for human well-being that has shaped civilisations for over 2,500 years. This paper examines Buddhism's profound influence on humankind through three interconnected dimensions: (1) the foundational teachings of the Four Noble Truths...
This paper develops an ontology in which consciousness is fundamental, and materialism is a boundary condition. Elementary particles in matter possess proto‑consciousness comparable to mass, spin, or charge. In this view, consciousness does not arise from matter; matter is a condensed phase of consciousness, and different degrees of consciousness manifest only when quantum coherence is present...

The relationship between human intelligence and artificial intelligence (AI) is often framed competitively, but a rigorous comparative analysis reveals fundamental differences in origin, substrate, consciousness, embodiment, intentionality, emotionality, creativity, ethical reasoning, learning efficiency, autonomy, and spiritual capacity. Drawing on theological perspectives (Okoronkwo & Dike,...

Through a qualitative...

Although per capita land availability has decreased, agriculture's share of...
