not enough people talk about how crazy it is that what is essentially just a bunch of matter that communicates with electrical signals can somehow result in a rich and seemingly integrated subjective experience of consciousness. if you're reading this, you see a moving image rich in fidelity, hear some high quality evolving sound, feel a large number of sensations and feel thoughts going through your head. all of that happening at once. but what's happening underneath could be reduced down to some atoms exchanging electrons. pretty simple when down to its unit parts. where does all of this emerge from? i think about this every day

We deffo don't do enough pondering on what we are, why we're here. The realm of what would should be 'religious' is found more in science as our understanding of the world deepens. It’s very seldom on peoples minds to consider how this world was created, or who / what created it. Maybe we should just have fun and let the simulation run its course 😅
