Enjoyed that excerpt. It is a pretty profound thing to think about, I can’t imagine actually experiencing that realization
Thank you for sharing... today feels like having a 'life altering' view. I think this will also help me relate to and work with people around me when presenting, remembering, etc. in terms of expectations.
Exactly my thoughts too! Might be humbling and perspective shifting.
Everything, oh my god. (imo, it changes the whole way you think about the world).
It's mind blowing when I see a new image like that and it completely changes how I understand the topic. I wish I could find more of those.
You have just changed my understanding of the world. Thank you.
Wow...this is one of those rare intuitive insights that make you think "I'm not as smart as I thought"
see my comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42132104 i can't tell the difference and therefore i don't see what profound enlightenment experience i am supposed to have.
Yeah. Changed how I see things.
That's a beautiful way of looking at the experience of being conscious of self, thank you for sharing it. I'm going to keep that in mind.
