RE: Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? Where are we?

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Sometimes I'm just sitting in a room, and I get amazed/anxious/confused how we even exist at all at this moment in time. I can't really describe it, I guess it's a short mental overload where I just become aware of the strangeness of the universe and everything in it. I think your article is the long version of what happens when I get these feelings, it's a good read.

Also back to the baby memory things, I think the earliest age I can remember is 3, but I don't know whether that memory is real, or I just saw a photo and fabricated a memory. Pretty incredible you had a conscious moment so young

Exactly my thoughts, guess sometimes our brains can't even comprehend that we exist, it's just unreal, even unreal to believe that the moment we die, we'd just vanish into thin air, it's hard for me to believe that one part.

I agree on the memory fabricating, it's been proven that you can put memories into other people, I've seen a documental about it, but not right recall the name. I've quite a few other memories that I can easily distinguise if they are fabricated or unreal, some coming from dreams I've had since I was a child.
