It was Fire in the Mind by Johnson if I could pin it to one book. It's been a path.

And if I fit into one place, it's HN ... software engineer for too many decades.

This is the one question I still have, and that will likely remain unanswered.

Just wanted to say: I like the way you think. In fact, I'm writing up a piece about how to arrive at (what is presumably) a similar realization. In brief: (1) notice consciousness, (2) notice that it's impossible (in a well-defined sense) to know what is causing it. If done right, there can be an epiphany.

You're god-damn right (don't worry about the religious repercussions of that, me and god are OK).

Discover, enjoy.
