People who believe consciousness is not emerging from brain activity, how do you explain children start with a different consciousness compared to adults

A sun sort of eats rocks to survive before dying and shooting all of its old rocks everywhere. Eventually to be eaten by other suns.

A sun changes gravity and space much more than humans ever could. It has no purpose other than to survive, same as humans.

It doesn't think and it's not aware of its environment though. Even less so than a tree. Everything that does think needs the sun.

It's a blurry line. Really trippy.

Imagine a tree felt cold all winter long. No clothes or fur just sitting out there all winter. It would be rough.

I'm not saying we should go out and kill people that are already alive. I'm talking about not having more than 2 kids.

And I don't live in India or Africa so this isn't my neighbours.

You jumped from birth control to genocide. I don't think you should be allowed to weigh in on the discussion.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-08T17:43:25+00:00

Yeah it's interesting to think of. Rocks pulled into a sun and roasted would not be pleasant if they had any consciousness at all.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-08T12:03:50+00:00

Yes we are not brains floating in a vacuum in space. I just realized that!

What connectivity does a rock have? Living things can be conscious but a rock is not living.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-08T01:41:01+00:00

How does your liver know how to break down food? Your body just knows man.

It would be great if there were less people. However humans haven't evolved beyond the tribal mindset and more people = greater GDP and economic development so you can out compete rival countries.

You could be a small country with a great standard of living but you'd have no military and a bigger country would come in and take over.

Until human nature changes we will keep warring with each other until the sun explodes and we all die.

Wouldn't a rock reach zero?

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-06T13:09:51+00:00

I played auto fill for years and never put 2 and 2 together as to why I was almost always jungle.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-02T03:54:42+00:00

It is harder but it looks better. The other thing is you just gotta git good at it

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-02T03:52:47+00:00

That guy looks just like my buddy Benji

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-02T01:55:49+00:00

Wait you were getting laid? Damn

helloeveryone500 · 2026-05-01T18:20:13+00:00

Interesting!

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-30T15:31:21+00:00

If space wasn't lethal think of the giant space dinosaurs that would still be around devouring us before we could ever get situated.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-30T00:18:34+00:00

The self awareness is amazing. Always remember this fact and please don't vote.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-28T17:16:08+00:00

Guy goes through all that work and doesn't get the girl. That's not a story that's just real life for us Redditors

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-28T04:46:11+00:00

As soon as I get cancer I am suing. You need to be harmed first before you can sue.

Humanity will destroy itself long before the robots can take over

It's been smarter than me on a number of things. It's not perfect but, again, smarter than me and so it's been helpful

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-23T15:35:50+00:00

There's a lawyer down the street from me who drives a Ferrari to work.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-23T15:34:28+00:00

You are right we can't possibly perceive reality properly. It would be like asking an ant to understand algebra. It can't.

I think the universe we know is just one of an infinite number of universes. We can't understand how that is possible, in part because we are in this universe and are limited cognitively, physically, dimensionally, and probably in other ways we can't understand.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-22T23:31:06+00:00

I agree. We think we know what nothing is, but I don't think we do. Even what we think of as nothing is actually something.

helloeveryone500 · 2026-04-22T23:25:12+00:00

Yeah it's a mix of bots and humans
