And then there's a series of fascinating studies that were done that you can look up. I refer to many of them in my documentary series, and they're all in the notes for the documentary. So you can look at patients being interrogated in this way. It's incredibly fascinating.

But the takeaway there, at least for me, is it's possible to even have a human-like mind that has no ability to communicate inside the same body of a mind that is able to communicate, right? And so we already know of an example where

consciousness in one living system can be split in that way such that they're having their different conscious experiences arising and some can be reported on and some can't. And so the question for me is, you know, once I got really deep into this research and deep into, you know,

But once I kind of allowed myself to go down this path and realize that, you know, not only is this a legitimate scientific question, but I think it's a really important scientific question, is there consciousness involved? In other systems, in much simpler systems than we've assumed.

And if so, it's possible that there are all kinds of conscious experiences happening within my brain and body that I'm not aware of, that I can't report on, but that are arising and passing away all the time.
