    They’re absolutely incredible and proof that we’re not singular people, but instead basically two people crammed into a single skull together forced to communicate.

      My takeaway is not that instead of a single person we’re actually two but rather that self as we think about it doesn’t actually exist. It’s convenient for our lives to think about ourselves that way but I bet if you could actually understand the inner workings of brain and how matter gives rise to subjective experience you’d discover that there actually is no one in control. The only thing that makes us separate from the rest of the universe is that it feels like something to exist.
