I mean, what is it? The self isn't the body even though we point to it in this realm and try to use the language that emerges from our embodied experience to communicate about it, right?
We have this implicit fishhook thing when talking about the self but we are pointing at.....? Like take it out of the spatial realm even. Me vs You? There's still this weird privileging thing going on with ownership....
Melt away that fishhook and melt into the world. Lose the hook.
Because the problem is pointing at all.
Imo.
"I think therefore I am." Traditional wisdom has the self come in when a being becomes sentient. Do you agree?
It sounds like you are envisioning an evolutionary path where humans will achieve the next level like Wifi to wire. What will that society look like, and if you can see even further into the future, what does fully evolved look like?
