hey /sci/ this has been bothering me for many months now and the more I think about it, the more I go crazy because one question leads to an EVEN more difficult one. At this moment in time there are some 6 billion people alive on earth. Moreover, there have been billions alive in the past - before me - and there will be billions more after me. Yet, of all these human beings, there is one individual (from my perspective) that stands out from the rest, that's different from all the others. And that person, of course, is me. Presumably I could have been any one of all those billions. But something determined that I would be on the inside of this particular body. What determined that? How was that association made? What determined that my consciousness would manifest itself in this (my) particular) body - out of all those others?

i understand that everyone (me included) is inclined to believe this but it's bullshit and difficult to part from
you're vaguely describing a "spirit", you're describing that thing that seems to make you "special" and nonalgorithmic and so on
you don't really exist like that, there's a bunch of cells that create one seemingly cohesive unit; you couldn't have been anyone else you don't exist like that anon just trust

t. every human ever

If you were somebody else then you wouldn't be you.

"You" are the connections in your brain, since everyones is different "you" are you

Given number of genes in DNA is limited, is it possible to roughly determinate number of different humans beings?
>>
>>8679074
Yeah, at birth. Thing is some genes aren't that noticeable, a lot of personality genes just increase chances of some things happening. But then as a person grows nurture comes into play and that changes even more shit so it's pretty much impossible to calculate realistically

>>8679002
Nothing was determined.There is no "you".
There is just a body and a brain that can think.

/sci/'s realism is depressing ;_;
I feel you OP. Every so often (usually when in the shower, actually), i'll have a moment of just "Woah, I'm seeing through THESE eyes, experiencing from THIS body. Other people are experiencing from THEIR body. Why I am not experience from their body? Why am I in mine? What put ME in my brain? Why is someone else not in this brain? In all the billions of humans that have been, are, and ever will be, AND all the possible life on other planets, why is my consciousness seeing through these eyes?

>>8679002
This is literally how everyone feels. There's no mystery as to why you have a you, EVERYONE has a you.
Here's your (You)

>>8679002
you're asking the wrong people. /sci/fags can be so narrow minded they might unironically tell you you're just like a rock

it's all in your brain bro, I know it's hard to believe, but EVERYTHING is just electrical signals being transferred IN your brain.
