Can you imagine what it would be like to be a bear? Or a different person?

Why did your genetic code give rise to your consciousness? There are billions of genetic codes giving rise to consciousness' that aren't yours, for billions of years....what was so special about yours?

If probability is true then you shouldn't be alive

My goal as a kid was to become a bear.

Will Biology and genetic engineering help me achieve this?

interesting topic, I was thinking about this a week ago
and for answer I think you should first stop thinking about your self, other people, consciousness like it's something magic, we are just very good computers, we are not so special

Describe how your genetic code gave rise to you as an individual allow you to experience the world, instead of creating not-you, a different person, like all the other life forms on earth
Why aren't you a bear?

What caused you to exist, be specific, provide citations.

Humans can't comprehend this question.

I'ts like asking a cave man what is consciousness? he doesn't know what that possibly refers to

again, you are looking at "you" like something special, magic, with soul etc.
you are simply your genetic code, script, tutorial how to build your body, you are nothing more!
people are trying to escape from such answer because its scary and sad, but fuck it

>> No.5335781

>you are simply your genetic code, script, tutorial how to build your body,

and why do you happen to be that code and not another?

why don't you experience life as an african kid in the year 1600

why not as a bear? I'm looking for a scientific answer

>> No.5335823

>>5335781
you are viewing it wrong, as I sad, there is no "you" ..there is just code, some people have trouble understanding that or accepting it because its pretty sad that you are nothing more than code

but I guess that's just my opinion, until you prove else :)

the humans could have been unconscious
life was unconscious and perfectly functional for millions of years

explain why it had to become conscious

then explain why you happen to BE one of those entities

consciousness is here for us just so we could survive better, its evolution.

>then explain why you happen to BE one of those entities
there is no "you", there is just "BE one of those entities"

why entity X and not Y?

why be an entity at all?

Explain using science, citations and peer reviewed journals.

>If probability is true then you shouldn't be alive

I'm glad that probability isn't true. Probability is only a man made construct to fill the holes of what we don't understand yet even though it is mathematically flawed. With better measuring devices we will overcome the uncertainty principle and gain a better understanding of cuantum mechanics that can be exact and doesn't need probabilities anymoar. Using probabilities is only fallacious and leads to unnatural paradox like monty hall.
