I find the comment section interesting. There is so much discussion about the dichotomy of consciousness, in support and opposition as discussed by the author. Some of the "rights" and "wrongs" feel way more combative than, simply noticing where the author is currently at.

I see the temporal disconnected strong here. The author is young-ish, and appears to be exploring ideas of many that have come before him. And, that he'll likely continue to explore on his journey. You can see his thoughts and see echos of long debated thoughts about consciousness, language, meaning, bottom-Up/top-down processing, not being our thoughts, etc..

Thanks to those who are leaving their knowledge, book references, quotes, and etc., to help myself and others who are somewhere along the continuum of understanding ourselves more thoroughly!



You are 100% right, I am still exploring (and also learning from all these comments). I have just started to explore these things now. Thank you for understanding author's mindset.
