It's just like I woke up

and I saw an angel and it told me about the future.

So you're still in the same place you really are.

And you're talking to people or you're interacting with people right where you really are.

And that's also how children dream when they're very, very young.

And it's only later that we start to become disembodied observers in dreams that go all over the place.

Does that tell us something about the learning of a you

of a thing that can be disembodied and go and control another organism or be something else or experience things from other people's perspectives?

Maybe.

Right.

And we have to ask, where do I begin?

Do I begin at my sensory inputs or later on in the processing?

Because if I had all of your taste nerves connected to the right places in my brain...

It might feel projected weirdly across space, but would I be tasting things as you do or as I do?

At what point does it become my experience?

Right, there's probably a food that you despise that I love.

I was able to tap into your nerve impulses coming from you eating that food you hate that I love what I love it or hate it.

It I don't know, it depends.

It depends where the liking that judgment is happening.

Is it being done by the cells in the tongue or by the cells in the brain?
