>>12180604sense of self and consciousness is tied to memories not emotions. the memories may generate emotions when thinking of them but thats more a side effect not a cause for the memories to exist or your sense of self or consciousness
as a result its not hard to find the fragments making up your sentience its more a pain to do all the work mapping it since its fragmented. a standard example would be if your got some one hooked up with tons of electrodes on their head and you name any random animal or object they know shit lights up all over the place. so you say train. trains are large , noisy maybe the color black stands out in their minds and thats different shit strewn about the floor space of your brain. your sentience is tangled in all of that because you use words and comparisons to other things to define yourself and viewpoints
its harder to understand why people avoid the obvious
