Verily, it doth seem to me... that any discussion of evolution,
intelligence, or science is missing the point when the discussion fails to
examine the development of 'me'.
I am convinced that "there is someone at home" inside my skull. I am
persuaded in this delusion by what I call my "psychological continuity".
Psychological continuity is, memories, mental garbage, trivia, and other
baggage that I presently feel reside among the neurons inside my head. Which
'arcanae' and 'extranea' I can access 'easily' by a mechanism I do not fully
understand.
I am also persuaded by culture that others experience an identical
phenomenon. Proof of this last opinion is impossible to establish, although
I suggest that another being may witness this 'problem' for themselves,
(inside their own head). |
