You are your deep life questions... maybe not even deep, just life questions.

consciousness is merely a by-product of multiple parts of the brain functioning simultaneously, trying to communicate with one another, in an effort to work as a coherent structure. I saw a documentary on the BBC called Horizon on consciousness and what makes me 'me'.



A researcher actually states that he can see what decision we are going to make (based on fMRI scans) 6 seconds before we consciously decide to make it! This definitely puts to doubt the question whether we actually 'need' consciousness...

XFD. You are all varying degrees of wrong.

Keep asking questions about conciousness and you'll find some ...impactful shit. Don't fucking look to google for the answers, ask yourself. Esoteric wisdom. You can ask google too, but don't go believing anything you read.

You, reading this. Forget how douchey I sound right now, just for a second.

Your entire concept/view of reality is only 0.01% of what truly is. Go back to the beginning. Before you were TOLD anything.

Don't think in words. Language is a crutch, defining the way you think.


Realize you know nothing. Doubt everything. There are levels of conciousness above single-idea thoughts.

This is what every religion refers to and manipulates/destroys/contorts to their own use.


Discover true infinity.


I know how much of a know-it-all or a douchebag i sound. Please, allow yourself to put aside the effect that may have on this information. There is so much to experience that makes what-you-thought-was-life a joke.

Yeah, that one was my favorite. That's a complete mind trip and the results of the last experiment with the two buttons is crazy.
