consciousness is, I feel, a byproduct of existence. Trees with no nervous systems and no brains gather information about their environment, and use the information to improve their lot in this life. That, to me, is a form of consciousness.
I think the reason we humans seem so different in consciousness from other life we see is that we have somehow managed to embody two brains in opne body, each co-existing with it's mate. Our right lobes and our left lobes are two separate brains. They are connected by a thick band of neurons, which allows them to communicate. This I think, creates the ability of humans to internally communicate with theemslves, giving us the understanding of the "Other" that most animals do not seem to possess.
am I becoming a deist? I'd be in good company!
