like… idk how to explain it… I didn’t exist, but these two people just decided: hmm you know what, lets make another one that’s half me half you
One moment I didn’t exist, then like I sort of exist for 9 months in limbo between the realm of non-living to the living realm, then finally full existence (but I have no memories of infancy, does that really count as existing?)
What the heck.
I think I’m having another existential crisis lol
How is consciousness even possible?
ha… most humans are accidentally created by our own animal lust. its why contraceptives are so popular
i like to think of consciousness as an emergent behavior of a complex system… a bunch of parts work together and as a sort of side effect a system is generated using the sum of those parts…
its like building a car… no individual piece can ‘do’ anything… but out it all together and the emergent system can move stuff… no individual piece can be called “car”
that we think consciousness is some divine, spirit based thing is absolute narcissistic bullshit.
all religions are man made. every person who believes in god does so because another human told him so. faith is trust in that human, not some deity… and people are liars
