The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

How crazy is it to think there might be something other than me,
or that I’m anything more than a smidgeon in the grander scheme?

In humans, “me” is self-orienting cognitively induced identity,
hosting a nervous system energizing a body navigating existence.

Let’s talk about cognition, as it’s the mechanism of identification.

Consider organically evolving experiential processes of
sensation, recognition, anticipation, and expression;
behaviorally wielding attention, thereby specifying
the content of sensation and situationally inducing recollection;
the whole comprehensively remembered.

That entire configuration may be regarded as human cognition,
surveying a plane of existence centered upon a singular identity
perceiving itself within an enormous spacetime environment.

Any thoughts?
