Why is it that multiple (VERY multiple) processes manifest as single experiences (like for example the taste of chocolate)?The brain merges everything to a simple experience. Take the eyes for example. The image on the retina (which is composed of numerous rods and cones ('pixels')) and you have two of these. If all this information was presented in it's individual form, it would be too much information for the qualia to evaluate. Instead, the brain does this for you and you 'see' an image rather than millions of 'pixels'. If you consciously had to evaluate this information, you would be eaten before you knew what was coming at you. Evolution at it's finest.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
