    This doesn't make me understand a single bit what consciousness is. It's like you analyze a dead stone.Hillary

    That’s because we prefer to assume that consciousness, and therefore human experience, is something non-physical rather than metaphysical. As scientists and logical thinkers, this is often more reassuring than incorporating all this uncertainty into a ToE.

    We like to think that consciousness defines the human experience, but it makes more sense to acknowledge that human experience is an ongoing iteration of what consciousness could become. In the same way that DNA is a static blueprint of what an organism can be, based on the integrated information so far.

    But I understand that it seems to you like I’m being overly analytical of consciousness, stripping it of the beauty, terror and wonder that makes us feel conscious and alive. People once felt that way about Darwin’s theory.
