The Evolution of Consciousness

I don't know that for example losing this sense of self could be a great thing. Or maybe how it add is that you lose it all the time because it actually isn't there. This sense of our own kind of central presence in our heads is constantly being undercut by attention being diverted to something out in the world or to some experience. And you can become increasingly sensitive to how it's being interrupted. I would love to get to the truth and I love the fact we're on the pursuit. But irrespective of what the truth is, Richard, something like consciousness which we still some would say we understand and some would says we don't. That might distinguish us from other animals.
