Interesting thought process which brings up the question how you define teleporting and how you define a living being. If we include our consciousness into the process of teleporting or even our soul if you believe there is one that brings up the question what happens with those things as they are not known to be part of your body. So in my opinion if you disassemble yourself and put a perfect clone of yourself as a replacement we don't know if our consciousness or subconscio are traveling or getting replaced aswell. So if we were able to teleport our body I don't think we can teleport our mind aswell which leads to my conclusion that you change time/space by doing so. Leaving behind a body with no soul that teleported. Just my opinion on teleporting in general though

Question about consciousness and subconscio

Ok so basically some friends and me are arguing over this philosophy topic everytime we see each other and we can't get up with an agreement.

So the topic is about our consciousness and our subconscio. I will refer consciouness as CN and SC for subconscio for the remaining threat.

So the example we can't figure our head around is pretty simple and stupid but in my opinion has a deeper/wider meaning behind it. I recently read Martin heidegger's book about his take on CN and SC and kind of agree with most of his points.

But enough talking around here is the example. Imagining a person is totally straight. Can this same person decide for himself that he wants to be homosexuel all of a sudden without having any interest in such a relation before?

I know I know stupid example but I think it's kind of interesting on a wider scale. The question that brings up is can you willingly by thinking about it put a thought from your CN in your SC. Can you trick yourself by persuading your own SC willingly?

The definition about our CN and SC and there range is a hard topic to discuss as every philisopher in history has their own thesis about it.

We can put this example into a simpler relation. If I willingly want to get to sleep earlier and proceed doing so every night my body will earlier or later adept to that circle and I will get sleepier earlier. So I willingly changed my SC into putting a thought in my CN over and over again.

If that works on a small scale like that. Does it work on a larger scale aswell?

To get back to my first example. It's not the biggest thought in human history I just think it interesting thinking about being able to trick our SC to want something even though we didn't want it in the first place - manipulating our own thinking of life on our own.

Closing words: We get manipulated by the media or other people everyday. Either on a big or small topic about our life. But that all happens unwillingly. So to sum up this threat: Can you willingly change your subconscio?

Maybe I am totally wrong in this topic and stupid. I didn't study philosophy - just enjoy reading old philosophers and discussing about topics like this. Looking forward to hear your opions on this or to make me look like a coward ;)

Cheers,
