Tim Ferriss

You think what?

I think that your consciousness is like what we experience as sort of a skin-encapsulated ego.

that we associate with ourself, and all of that can dissolve and go away on psychedelics, right?

And you have the experience of something you might call consciousness without any- A collective consciousness, is that what you're saying?

What was that?

Some type of a collective consciousness.

Sure, something like that, yeah.

Where it's like, yeah, okay, you're a drop of water,

and you just get returned to the ocean.

What does that subjectively mean?

No idea, right?

I mean, what's it like... what's it like... a few months before you're born?

I don't know.

I don't know.

What is that like?

Not the slightest clue.

But, you know, I've had conversations with people like the incredible biologist, also computer scientist,

You just talk to this guy, Michael Levin, out of TOTS, who is on the cutting edge of more things than I can even list off at this point.

But if you're looking at the development of a human from embryo, and I'm getting seemingly a little off track, but I don't think so.

the development of consciousness, which we kind of need to define, but let's just... let's just think of it as having an identity of me, an I, that is separate from the outside.
