So here's my theory

[robvalue]

To test these kinds of claims, I hit the streets. Then a few hours later, with bloody fists full of gravel, I go talk to people on the street.

Out of 1,000 people I randomly hassled, all of them were conscious. So that's 100% consciousness all the time for everyone ever. I asked them if they were made up of atoms from other previous dead people. No one confirmed this (or would continue to talk to me at this point) but they didn't deny it either.

More testing. As usual, I head to the graveyard next to dig up some dead people.
