Misogyny probably originates from a place of jealousy, tbh. They take a little more maintenance, but vaginas are absolutely the superior sex organ.

Sigmund Freud reading this and exploding 🤯💥

What I imagine to be the “true” answer to the question is that “consciousness” isn’t really real, but if it’s thought of as a result of physical/chemical properties, then there’s no dividing line between what reactions count as consciousness (ie, a waterfall or tectonic plate could also be conscious).

You can’t prove that you experience that sort of intangible experience and it can’t be measured or well-defined, so I’m personally inclined to not really believe in it at all.
OR if we do accept that it’s a result of chemical reactions and we want to define it in terms of those, then there’s not a strong reason to differentiate a human experience from rocks or computers or waterfalls.
I think people are inclined to think that such a thing exists because we have the abilities of memory and communication, but the concept itself I think is not very useful. Which is why I suspect that a magically True answer would say that the physicality of the brain itself is as close as you can get to that idea.

The physical processes themselves are the so-called subjective conscious experience in a way that cannot be better described by an abstraction.
There’s no such thing as a conscious experience without physical processes and no hard-line difference between different physical reactions that would differentiate consciousness and non-consciousness.

There’s a couple really cool old anime forums I’ve found before. This one is definitely the coolest, but it’s in French so I don’t really understand very much of it:
