yo, @imhinesmi . Have you heard of Julian Jaynes, The Origins of Consciousness and the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind?
part of his big claim is that ancient ciz people literally "weren't conscious" and that made me think of you being a p-zombie

my problem with consciousness is that its such a vague concept that i can never figure out what people even mean by it and most people dont even agree about their definitions

i'll punt. there's a 4 part blog piece by
@KevinSimler on some of his shit for the tldr, if you get curious. https://meltingasphalt.com/mr-jaynes-wild-ride/ …
