Story/Is It True?/Consciousness
Someone wakes up. They are not sure. They think they have. Again, what is the difference between randomness and infinity? This all makes sense doesn't it? But if there is infinite... then isn't this just one of those? Perhaps a more likely one, as it's actually happening. But... well... I suppose each reality has some sort of ... some of the unlikely that happen. As well. Most of what happens is probably pretty similar in each ... if it is true.
If you think about consciousness for awhile it's quite... bewildering to think about how we don't think about it more often. What is it, that you are referring to... when you say "I"? Developmental psychologists say that children don't really develop this concept of an "I" until they are a couple of years old. This is an explanation for why people have very few if any memories from their first couple of years.
What am I getting at? Well if you think about the mind as just these... signals being shot back and forth... you know... *I* is in there ... isn't it just some sort of... combination of these signals being shot back and forth that somehow gives us this illusion that we are conscious and that we are making some decisions. If you think about some sort of true form of Artificial Intelligence it really brings into question everything... if a computer can become aware of itself and "think" of itself as an I... what does that mean about us? Does that mean what we think of as being so precious... our very consciousness.
is just some sort of...
It's very hard to put into words what I'm trying to get across here... but what we call "I" isn't any one thing but is the actual action of thinking. I believe that thinking is what really creates an *I* ... it's why people who aren't very thoughtful have such a weak sense of identity and are so easily manipulated.
There's more my friends... this is endlessly interesting to me - to me it gets to the very heart of existance. What we percieve you know... it's all percieved as this awareness... this consciousness... whatever it is. So it's hard to make any sense of reality without some sort of sense of what our consciousness really is in the first place.
