In the film, Brain Burn, the narrator says "consciousness is disassociation" which I find to be a contradicting statement being that disassociation means to sever the association of oneself or to separate and consciousness is the awareness of one's own existence, sensations, thoughts, surroundings, etc. The statement that says that philosophy is the result of different brain states is acceptable. Life consists of a variety of people, each with their own set of ideas, opinions, beliefs, and traditions. The manner in which people think and things they believe in form the questions that philosophers have sought an answer or explanation of for so many years. Hence that philosophy is the result of different brain states.
I also agree that philosophy is like heartburn, the natural result of something that did not digest well. For example, my state of mind is that I believe that God is the creator of all things and He has a plan for each of us, which is why things fall in the order that they do. This is the heartburn or brain burn, this is what does not digest well within the mentality of a philosopher. How can I believe in someone nobody has ever seen? How can I believe in something that does not have have solid evidence or proven facts of being true? Surely it is just another illusion caused by my brain and its perception of God and his capabilities. I guess it is a matter of each person's personal opinion and perception of the things presented before them in association with what they believe and have studied throughout their lives as well as what fits into each individual's life.
