Consciousness is what I am, I am not a body, I am not a group of cells and organ systems, those are merely machinery to maintain the homeostasis of my physicality, which perpetuates my consciousness. The highest apex of my existence of my consciousness. There is nothing above it that I sense. How can it be, that I know this to exist in such a deep, irrefutable, essential way, yet speaking about the topic gets you relegated to being a crackpot

Why is consciousness not considered scientific and why does talking about it get you labelled weird?
