Re:Is Matter Conscious? (2017) on Monday February 25, 2019 @12:17AM (#19243194)
Maybe I misunderstand the concept, but when we are newly born we are somewhat not conscious in the usual sense of self. In that theory does it mean we, or our atoms are already conscious but we dont have the awareness yet? Because our brain is first producing a trick of the perception of self once it is fully developed?

In the spiritual world many advanced people have had these experiences of oneness with the world once they learn to fully strip the mind from all conditioning and cocneption of self. So it seems to me like the concept of embodied swlf and consciousnes are two things that can be seperated. Does that make any sense?

In the article it is mentioned that zebras have shorter hair which makes them more vulnerable to the flies. You could ask why didnt they just grow longer hair? Well probably for something else it was important to have short hair.

If not being able to eat sushi (with dead fish) more than twice a week is the only 'good' reason to care for adoption of sustainable energy production thats exactly explaining why humanities' future looks really bad :D
