Brain and Soul

... Nich ...

I’d consider myself a realist, alright? But in philosophical terms I’m what’s called a pessimist. I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware.

Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law.

We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, that accretion of sensory experience and feelings, programmed with total assurance that we are each somebody, when in fact everbody’s nobody.

Amen
