Plot twist: I don’t use a shopping cart. (I always use the textile shopping bag that I bring from home.)

And again, this is probably the smartest living human, has spent decades looking into it, and his result was “I dunno, maybe look at this?” So if anyone ever tries to tell you that anyone knows what consciousness is. You know they’re talking out of their ass.

As long as capitalism drives science, we’ll never know. Because there’s no money in finding it out, and we’re at the point of looking at freaking quantum wave collapse inside of neurons, it’s not exactly something that’s easy or cheap to investigate.

I just want to point out that there has been philosophy before capitalism, and a lot of clever people looked into the question of consciousness without capitalist interests. As such, a lot of modern science doesn’t really focus on it; but nevertheless, there’s a lot of clever thoughts about it. Like in chinese buddhism, there’s views of what consciousness means in sometimes great detail that really make sense to me. Saying we don’t know anything about consciousness because modern science doesn’t is wrong, i think.

can’t see things when I close my eyes

I see funny patterns. But definitely no real-life objects. Kinda like on Acid. I guess that my brain naturally produces some hallucinogenous substances.

Is Everyone Conscious in the Same Way?

Nope. I am conscious on different days in different ways.

Yeah I’ve tried that, but the controls are sometimes less-than-optimal.

I wonder whether maybe you could attach some hardware controller to the android device.

probably minetest

yeah I’ve tried it, it’s great :D

short question - do you mean Cleveland, OH, or Cleveland, TN, or Cleveland, TX, or Cleveland, GA?

So first of all let me tell you that it does indeed depend on where you live. So it would have been very useful information if you had stated where you live. Since you didn’t state it, I assume it’s in the US, since for some reason, people in the US never seem to see the need to state that they live in the US (not all of us do).

Secondly, I really am sorry for your situation. There’s a lot of wrong things with society. One of those things is that it’s difficult to meet new people. Another, in my opinion, just as bad thing, is that one has to drive. Basically, people didn’t drive before 1800. Driving is the exception in history. I don’t see how or why people think these days that it’s completely normal to drive, or to have to drive. This has nothing to do with your post, but it’s still something that I’m thinking about. Sorry for the random side-rant.

Thirdly, I have found that it’s often best to search for like-minded people, and just randomly go to them, say to them “hey, can I sit with you”, wait a few seconds, and if they agree, sit down and just say “hi” and “i’m [insert name] and i’m from [insert location] and i’m looking for [insert any random hobby or activity you like]”. most people react by either agreeing or declining, and such is life.

okok sorry maybe I misread; please don’t be so butthurt about it (no offense)

I care about palestinians because they are people and deserve to be treated as people, instead they are treated like cattle in a slaughterhouse. That has nothing to do with OP or you, it’s just my opinion on palestine. That’s why I said “palestine deserves attention”.

I don’t know what OP has done or sth. If they put forward a relatable message, I’m going to listen to it, no matter what unhinged bullshit they may or may not have said earlier. I don’t like ad-hominem attacks in general much.

oh in fact I do care, even though I can’t prove it to you.

what makes you think that I don’t?

wtf are you talking about?

I don’t usually meddle in US politics (am from europe), but I endorse kamala over trump, obviously.

I am not saying that the palestinian genocide is bad and therefore we must stop voting for liberals; quite the opposite: We must vote for liberals because if trump wins, things won’t be ten times worse, they’ll be 1000 times worse.

The day has barely started and that’s already three posts on the topic today.

Good. Palestine deserves attention.

Except the teapot. The teapot is highly valuable.
