This was a great read. I highly recommend Being You by Anil Seth if you haven't read/heard it. The book's premise is how the brain constructs reality in consciousness using sense perceptions. To make sense of reality, the brain must construct a self in the middle of it all, to whom experiences occur. Fascinating stuff, and the narration on the audiobook is especially good.
Ah, I actually have read it! It was fabulous, agreed. But it’s been a little while, so I’ll have to check out the audiobook — I love a good narrator. And I plan to write more about the nature of consciousness, so it’ll be great to help spark some new thoughts.
Thank you for the kind words & the recommendation 🤍
