Why the fuck am I conscious in this body?

>>37125211
because you are a fag

>>37125211
Why do you separate consciousness and body?

You ARE your body. Dumb fuck.

>>37125211
Because your neurones are firing.

>>37125211
It makes no sense because it's nonlocal. The mind is a conduit.

life is not real

>>37125211
I don't want to be here

>>37126872
if you as a sperm cell hadn't won the race among billions of other sperm cells, you would not have been here right now. You would be non existent.

>>37126916
His cell won the race by being somewhere in the middle.

>>37125211
You just happen to be like that. There is no why. Life is just a self-perpetuating chemical reaction.

no reason it's just part of the absurdity

Will memes be considered art in 100 years?

>>37127214
maybe. they might also just be lost in some ever expanding collection of information. We're really only at the start of the internet age.

The body is merely a prison, anon

Eat a gram of dxm hbr if you want to know what divorce of the spirit from the body feels like

>>37126362
Why not? I'm hardly conscious ever. I'm so detached I can hardly tell it's mine. I always feel like I'm in a third person perspective. It's like playing a video game. I'm never really in it.

>>37127507
That's called depersonalization. It's not because you have it and that you *feel* that you're detached from it that you *are* detached from it.

Separating body and mind was done by Descartes 500 years ago. His arguments were shit.

>>37127369
That's not an argument

>>37127746
So I'm an example of someone who can say body and mind are separate?

>>37127214
Only if the information we have on them suddenly gets lost

>>37125211
More importantly how come matter became self aware?

>>37128621
No, you're just wrong.

>>37130103
How? You just said that they are.

Your picture of yourself is woefully incomplete; you are so much more than the information available to your conscious attention.

How do you grow your hair?
or push your blood around?
or digest food?

You know how to do it because you're doing it right now, only you don't think these invoulentary things are really *you*

Why?

Tell me, is your breathing voulentary or invoulentary? In other words, do you do it or does it happen to you? On the one hand you think "I breathe" and on the other hand "it breathes me."

How is it possible that a creature with such sensitive jewels as the eyes, such enchanted musical instruments as the ears, such a fabulous arabesque of nerves as the brain, can experience itself as anything less than a god?

>>37130958
Very insightful! It is pseudo-deep because this kind of knowledge doesn't lend itself to terms of depth and shallowness. One could just as easily say that this information is at the very surface of being, and you're too deeply absorbed to notice it.

>>37131055
One could say many things but at the end of the day it's irrelevant. Whether you are doing those things or not is dependent on the way you define "you". It's useless semantics.

Now you're really getting close! However sophisticated a tool our language is, the true self defies definitions. What is the sound of one hand?

There is no self.

>>37125211
Well, as a living organism, you interact and react to input from your envrionment, so of course you are conscious.

>>37131232
>true self defies definitions
>there is no self
At last, we are in agreement!

Wonder if there was one primate one day that realized it exists.

>>37131605
Sure there was. How do you think we got here?

>>37131708

Its possible that thinking is just internalized speech and self awareness is tied to language, making consciousness social construct. Your thinking is not much different from a monkey letting out a screech when it spots a snake. You have different screeches for snakes that were, are or are to be, allowing more complex ways to communicate but it does not make you any more conscious that a average monkey, and without these social conventions you wouldnt be able to produce thoughts.

>>37125211
Cogito ergo sum, fampai

>>37132328
Depends on how you define speech and language. Self-awareness is obviously tied to thought. Consciousness is also not necessarily tied with self-awareness.

Consciousness isn't a "thing", in my uninformed opinion at least.
We just operate like an insanely advanced CPU.
The entire world around is constantly giving input and we react accordingly. It's a meme at this point but a body is just a computer.
I did mind-altering drugs but I never saw it as something spiritual.
