Your pre-frontal cortex is the harness for the rest of your brain Meta-cognition is like a self-improving harness

Responding to stimuli over time / Consciousness Levar #1 pure sensation in the simplest sense. A neuron firing, a light turning on. Levar #2 emerges as binary signals compound into flows of perception and pattern detection. Distinct qualia come about. (jellyfish, plants) Levar #3 is where these flows develop into a unique perspective; a sense of self arises that creates a 3D model of the body and its relationship to the world. This is the conscious domain of insects and amphibians. Levar #4 - onset connection and flows of emotion. Relationships with external things and beings create feelings of fear, anger, happiness, and sadness. Most mammals can be found here as their needs become dependent on group dynamics. Levar #5 is the domain of memories, personality, and identity. This might be where stored feelings about who and what we are come into mind, our roles and traits. (Great apes, dolphins, guard dogs). Levar #6 - flows of thought, language, and abstract representations. It is what contends with potential and makes comparisons, allowing for planning and the development of cultural values. (Homo Sapiens). Levar #7 is the witness of all the others and the feeling of it - self-awareness, reflection, insight, and metacognitive thinking.

There is no way of knowing if you have been conscious as "you" for a whole lifetime, or for just this fleeting moment. Your brain hosts all long-term memories and related feelings of having lived a lifetime, so a mere blip of existence now would still feel like you lived it all. And if a universal consciousness were experiencing everything at once, across all space and time - the experience of being you right now would still feel exactly as it does. This summarises my main metaphysical belief about how consciousness works, why "you" are "you", and why the continuous self is an illusion of local human brain states. I don't believe in either the self, or in even a "now" following a single linear flow of time. I believe that all of space and time has "already happened". The universe, on a grander scale, is a static higher-dimensional structure covering all of space, time, and perhaps other undiscovered physics - think of it like a timeless higher-dimensional block of ice. You can also think of it like frames in a movie reel, but where each frame is a 3D snapshot of the universe and strung up together into a 4D structure covering all of time. (In reality, it would have to be much more complicated than this analogy, due to relativistic physics and more.) Our life trajectories are akin to thin scratched lines criss-crossed in that higher-dimensional block of ice. We are just manifestations of the universe's consciousness, forced to experience those trajectories. Consciousness experiences states across these trajectories, akin to how water travels through pipes, or how electricity lights up light bulbs in a circuit. This is just my metaphysical belief of how consciousness works, based on some educated assumptions. It's a speculative belief, not a falsifiable scientific hypothesis.

Everyone is trying to pick a bottom; but they will pile in to pay double in a blink…😆 I just hope for lower where that 2x becomes a potential 3x. Let it cook. Gimme $25. Look at them now fighting over Abercrombie and VS…😆
