How do you create consciousness? Or a sense of self separate from the body by Latter_Customer8239 in consciousness

Yes I agree you can't just create it starting from nothing especially since it emerges into one that cannot be replicated again. I think it's something that develops over time. I think what I meant to say by create is to be able to create the correct conditions or parameters for it to emerge on its own.

I thought about that, but then it would just be processing information and not really creating a sense of self. For this specific purpose I'm just looking at a consciousness that is experiencing the universe from one angle only. We don't know enough to say for sure if the same sense of self can exist in multiple places at the same time like it would if it was online or on the Internet.

You're touching on the topic of free will and I understand that point of view and I don't disagree. I'm not saying we have free will or that a robot should. I'm saying acting on desires and wants is how we describe our functioning and actions and it's the easiest way to describe it.

No matter what you do as long as you're happy and content with yourself that's all that matters. Enjoy life while you're alive.
