Do you ever just wonder, why did I specifically gain consciousness,

Yeah. Sometimes after smoking weed or dropping acid I've gotten an overwhelming sense that I'm actually not just me, that I am actually experiencing everyone's consciousness and they are experiencing mine, that there is only one consciousness.

But as I type that out now it seems like bullshit doesn't it? Probably just a delusion.

I'm quite amazed by this too, why do I experience the world as it is? Have you ever looked at your toes for too long and thought about how weird and alien life is? I'm convinced that only about 30% of people in the world actually poses the ability to observe themselves from the outside, to continually create higher levels of abstraction and observe reality from this higher level. The rest of are simply closed loop automatons who can not understand even that they are conscious beings.

This post was made like a month ago PLEASE do not reply to bait.

This isn't bait, it's one of life's deepest mysteries.

>>8306146
actually it's not.

Q: Why am i in this body exactly?
A: Because it's random.
Q: Oh.

mystery solved.

That doesn't satisfy my curiosity.

Consciousness is a byproduct of perception and is tied to the brain. You can't be conscious in someone else's brain, and you can't move a consciousness into a new container.

But how come I, specifically, became this conglomeration of cells and bacteria, and all of this constructs my consciousness? How come I assembled into this? How come right now, specifically me, why am I all of a sudden a thing, and not just a rock laying on the beach somewhere?
