Spending this evening as I spend many others: fixated on and flummoxed by the Hard Problem of Consciousness

It's a really hard problem! It's such a hard problem that it's the only Hard Problem that's capitalized. That there's a problem all right

Like. A person is not just one thing. You're an arrangement of gazillions of little microorganisms. But you feel like one thing having one experience. So is a city conscious? How can you prove it's not? What if it's even somehow an order of magnitude more conscious than a single person?

What's it like to be a city????

Living as a city? Well, for one thing, you know you have to survive. For another, you've got to keep the dream alive.

Are we a living city? Is our consciousness a dream they're keeping alive? Nothing is off limits for having its own consciousness and will! Everything is free!! Can't you see!!!!
