Here I gather my insights about what it is to think, to be, to comprehend, to know starting with a project for my Cognitive Science program where I worked on a presentation for a class of this same name (PoM).
n my project I worked in a team with Fariza, (a colleague from Kazakstan with a background in advanced mathematics) and together analyzed a paper by Frank Jackson (1982) Epiphenomenal Qualia - pdf 
Fariza explained the paper and thesis, describing Jackson'e arguments and I criticized the paper and offered arguments why indeed physicalism is indeed incomplete, but why Jackson's arguments that qualia is epiphenomenal is also incomplete.
My Arguments included logical deduction, experiments and other papers about quantum mechanics especially the double slit experiment, and mathematical representation and analogy of the human mind, world and universe as fractal reflections of each other in micro and macro scales, based on a universal language of an 8 octave musical scale. My argument based on the findings of these authors ...is that the world is a fractal reflection of the human brain and humans can indeed communicate with each other like neurons in the brain without the use of language through qualia, suggesting that this might also be how heavenly bodies such as planets and even galaxies interact, using a univrsal language of music.
Further, if it is logical to presume that we are all interconnected parts of a macro organism Gaia, based on Gaia theory by James Lovelock, then it is indeed logical to consider the wellbeing of all interconnected parts of the whole, to include other people, the environment and even other species, not because of altruism, but very selfishly because it would then be logical to deduce that the well being of one part of a shared body/ brain would affects the wellbeing of all other parts in an interconnected field based on discovered and yet undiscovered laws of quantum physics
