Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

ha.. most humans are accidentally created by our own animal lust. its why contraceptives are so popular
i like to think of consciousness as an emergent behavior of a complex system... a bunch of parts work together and as a sort of side effect a system is generated using the sum of those parts...
its like building a car.. no individual piece can 'do' anything... but out it all together and the emergent system can move stuff... no individual piece can be called "car"
that we think consciousness is some divine, spirit based thing is absolute narcissistic bullshit.
all religions are man made. every person who believes in god does so because another human told him so. faith is trust in that human, not some deity.... and people are liars
