Hi, level 7 atheist skeptic here, I'm curious to know the best books on the nature of consciousness and neuroscience, from things like how the brain processes information, how consciousness arises, and why human beings think and act the way they do according to the physical makeup of our brains, or whatever other subjects about the brain you personally find interesting enough to read a book about with the brain!
I find it especially interesting the studies I have been reading about why some people are conservative vs liberal, and it has a lot to do with your amygdala, people who are more conservative have a higher fear and disgust response. That has changed my perspective on politics a lot, because I stop looking at it as solely a matter of your choices you make, and factor in more how a person's human nature comes into play. That's something that really interests me.

I haven't read his books, but Sam Harris writes about this theme a lot in his literature.

This is a pretty disturbing simulacrum of the kind of guy I was in high school.

Yeah, it would be better if I just decided that the mysteries of the universe aren't worth questioning and just say that god created everything, right?

Enlightenment is all you need to realize
Anything by Douglas Hofstadter is worth a look. You might be most interested in the book he did with Dan Dennett titled 'The Mind's I'.
