to me, the answer is because you were born with that one.
Maybe it's better to think about how your FPV consciousness didn't exist prior to your birth. It came into being when you came into being. I don't think there's a separation between your FPV consciousness and physical brain. If your metabolism stops your FPV consciousness stops
- spookthesunset 5y ago> Maybe it's better to think about how your FPV consciousness didn't exist prior to your birth That is unknowable though. You may just not remember it. Is memory what makes consciousness?
- webmaven 5y agoPeople can lose the ability to form new memories without losing consciousness, but arguably without any memory at all you won't have any continuity of experience, which seems essential.
