How was it decided that my consciousness is in this body and not another one?In another words why am I experiencing the world from this viewpoint? And even more fucked up question - where I was before?Is it even possible to have technology to answer these questions?
>>16899522You decided it before you incarnated. Enjoy your life, you picked it for a reason.
>>16899522Your consciousness is what happens when your brain develops circular semiotics, which is necessary for modern language.
1 consciousness is emergent property of brain-organ, ie it is physical expression of brain2 because your brain is inside your skull and not some other place3 there is no "i" preceding consciousness4 yes, as we understand emergent properties more consciousness will be defined in that way
>>16899526Why my brain is mine? Why am I not in the other brain?
>>16899522>How was it decided that the brain processes going on in this body is going on in this body and not another one?Well gee, I wonder what could possibly solve this mystery.
>>16899543"you" is the product of your consciousness, your consciousness is the product of your brain-organ, you are unformed when you brain is unready, as a toddler you learn words, such as "me" "mine" "my" "i" what is when you feel you took "procession" of your mind, when in reality your brain just routed some meaning to the idea of self, sorry everything is in the fatty tissue
>>16899547This answers how consciousness is formed but it doesn’t answer why a particular consciousness appears in a particular body.
>>16899611Consciousness is not particular your memory is
>>16899612Why are you experiencing memories in your particular body?
>>16899613Memory is a lower function of brain, even the simplest animal has memory, consciousness uses memory to build your sense of reality
Wtf, am I asking the question in a weird way? I feel like I’m phrasing it wrong or you’re all just fucking biorobots without consciousness that just accepted their meat body
>>16899613What's the explanation for why Hideo Kojima is Hideo Kojima in particular rather than some totally different person? Why isn't Hideo Kojima somebody else, like Donald Trump for example? Why is the current year 2026 as opposed to 1712?
>>16899613Because storing memories is a function of the functional brain>Why do I have a functional brain?Because your parents decided to fuck and create it, and everything went alright with your development til now
>>16899617You are asking questions you think are profound when they are just x cause y cause z, don’t be fooled by ex-corporal unicorn phenomena bs
>>16899631I think the question appears very simple but it actually one of the biggest mystery in universe that even religion struggles with.
>>16899522the final redpill is you don't exist.cogito ergo sum is the opposite of truth.
>>16899526>>16899522Consciousness isnt an emergent property. Its not a thing. Its just the process in which brain organizes information. External sensor information goes into the brain which is described as being conscious of externalities. Then the brain as an organ organizes that which then is said to be conscious of external sensory awareness. Further the brain is also able to understand its own processing of information, which is then stated to be meta cognition or self-awareness.
>>16899694But why do you see from your eyes and not from mine?
>>16899873Because the information that is processed from the brain comes attached to the eye. All conscious process is local to biological beings. There are no consciousness entity. We are not a ghost. There is no invisible ghost controlling the body. Consciousness is merely the body's self organizational process.
>>16899522Because of all the universes you exist in, from the worst possible outcome to where you're an immortal god, this one is the one that is the average and is the experience "of record". When you die a cascade occurs to the the point where the universe of record becomes the one where you're an immortal god and that is heaven.
>>16899613Prove that I am.
"why am i me and not you"there is a simple explanation:you ARE mejust not right nowall lived experiences are lived by all first-hand experiencers
>>16899523Nietzsche subscribed to a different view. One of Eternal Return. Your entire life repeats, exactly unchanged, for all eternity.
I feel like everyone even the greatest thinkers are just spitballing because they have no idea what happens after death. It is weird to be live and to be posting this in the first place. Almost nothing in the universe can make the post.
>>16899522Consciousness is in all conscious bodies. There is one conscious substance.Your self is an illusion caused by memories.Memories and thoughts are conceived by material processes and brought into conscious awareness.What individuates and divides each person is memory and derived from experience, which derives from flesh.What makes you yourself is your memories and thoughts (which can exist in partial forms as fragments in other people who think like you, and derives from experience which derives from material), and the consciousness observing the material processes.
>>16899522This question has a name:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertiginous_question
>>16899522>In another words why am I experiencing the world from this viewpoint?somebody had to, why not you?
From an outsider perspective we are just a bunch of meat and we can dissect and even understand completely how human brain work, we will eventually even create bilogoical/AI/cyber brains. But there is a problem, YOU are not an outsider.Why your thoughts and memories and everything you experience appears only in your brain? How it was decided that you experience life in your body and not another one?
>>16899543Because you absorbed the specific nutrients by choosing to eat the food you have chosen to eaten, so, of all the food in the universe, why did you pick the particular bits that you ate as food instead of any other of the infinite scraps of food that have been available and would have changed your brain's development?
>>16899660Only people with a retarded nonsensical definition of consciousness find it mysterious, but they tend to find everything mysterious because they are operating on outright falsehood.
>>16899913So why don't I remember being you if I came first or you remember being me if you came first?
>>16899522We would be in a rotating dark matter sphere that heats up enough from a section from the light from a body source underwater. With other ingredients, it shifts people into place. Because people's bodies are always larger-scaled than locally, to account for expansions.
>>16899522You're not even you. Particles don't have an identity. How does an excitation in a field have an identity? It's not even a thing.It's all an illusion constructed by memory and thoughts. "You" only exist as the blips of conscious perception and you disappear when the blip disappears and a new "you" will appear with the next blip. There's nothing else, only the blips. Thoughts are just more blips. Time is just blips too.I said blip too many timea but you know what I mean. The atoms of perception.
>>16900127>Particles don't have an identity.>The things I can identify as particles don't have identities.Makes total sense if you don't actually think about it.
>>16900165A ripple in a field isn't a "thing"
