But what is consciousness? And why do we experience?Good/Evil is all just brain chemistry, a small change in the brain can completely alter a person's personality. There are numerous reports of people who have gone from having a nice friendly personality to cold and selfish after suffering a bit of brain damage.
There was even a case of a man who developed pedophilia urges so went to the doctor and was told he had a brain tumor, got it removed and the urges went away. The urges eventually came back so he returned to the doctor to find the tumor had returned.
I understand through evolution, our brains evolved to contain a "mind". But what the fuck is that? What the fuck is experience? It certainly seems bizarre that "all of that" can be contained in a spherical object smaller than a basketball on top of my neck and time itself is experienced by a series of chemical reactions.
