There's a less 'western' view of consciousness that it's not contained in any one thing, but a common thread of the universe itself. This may not be as 'woo' as it seems at first, since when we scientifically analyze an 'individual' it falls apart under scrutiny. Why does this pattern of electrons make me distinct from someone else? What is 'me' exactly?



I find your comment incredibly refreshing to be honest. Especially on HN.

I think a lot of people in the west would strongly, strongly benefit with getting more acquainted with it. I will add a warning though, it's not always a pretty journey.
