I like the theory that consciousness is similar to the illusion of motion in film, constructed by a frame rate. Consciousness is a cognitive loop in which one frame is examining the senses, and then your reaction to them. Look outward, then inward. Like the illusion of motion, consciousness emerges when that frame rate exceeds a threshold of perception.
We call it an illusion of motion so maybe it is also an illusion of consciousness. It's difficult to say whether the resulting consciousness is in some sense more real than the motion.

- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoNot sure if this answers the question but one time I took a ridiculous amount of 2c-b(100mg) and and it was like everything was stuttering. Continuous sounds like my computer fan sounded like a repetitive banging sound instead and movement was discontinuous as well.
