I believe your beliefs are fucktarded.
It sounds like what a lot of my family believe. My mom read some Carl Jung and my stepdad got into Pagan shit and they thought "Oooh this is much better than evidence! Isn't it great to make my eldest son the black sheep with the brain cellls?"
Saying my beliefs are fucktarded is not an argument. At least not a good one.
I look at consciousness as being like a glacier. What we're fully aware of is the tiny tip sticking out of the ocean. The large base is the sub-conscious that we draw from when creating and using our consciousness. You would never assume that the base of a glacier is a bi-product of the tip. You would assume that the tip is a bi-product of the base.
Humans all inherited the vast sub-consciousness that had evolved over millennia. We just have small individual tips that stick out. Other than that, I think its reasonable to assume that we all have a pretty similar sub-conscious, but we have different abilities when it comes to tapping into it.
So this is why its easy for me to imagine a collective consciousness and why humans can draw from each other to learn more. I believe that all creative outputs by our brains are bi-products of our sub-conscious. Once it comes to the fore, we are able to build on that and dig deeper into our sub-conscious.
