Trying to simplify my Consciousness hypothesis
#41
RE: Trying to simplify my Consciousness hypothesis
There is no why. There is no purpose to it. Like I said it's like a side effect.

It's like... why do moths kill themselves repeatedly against hot lamps? It's a side effect of how they navigate with the moon.

I think our consciousness is just a side effect of our complex brains. It has no purpose in itself.

In fact it couldn't have a purpose. If I was a P-zombie I'd be functionally identical.
