Haha, human consciousness! There is a weirdly connected strain because a lot of these silicon valley guys, particularly Musk and Thiel, know full well about this and the whole thrust of recent AI talk and simulation theory is because more and more people are waking up to what really makes us humans.
I know this will sound like nonsensical gibberish to you, it would have to me, all I can say is that do yourself a favour...not just because of things like politics but because of your own life. I am sure you've noticed a change in my posting from what it used to be to what it is over the last year. Once your ego, a fiction you've made to deal with this world, is destroyed, you can truly know yourself and what is bothering you as well as what inspires you. People turn from addicts, lose a lot of weight (me), and many other underlying issues we have after they discover their human consciousness.
