This is one most of you have probably read or watched the YouTube video for. But if you haven't, please enjoy! The YouTube video is excellent but the story is great either way.

The story came back into my mind when talking to a friend recently. I sent it over to them. Glad we are all still sharing our story. ๐Ÿ˜„

That's because I(we) am a giant egomaniac sometimes ;)

This is absolutely my favorite short story! It's such an interesting concept and delivered in a poignant way. The Kurzgesagt adaptation of it is very well done too.

Oh Kurzgesagt is why I discobered it and set me into being fascinated by conciousness for a year or two, the hours i've spent reading/ listening to susan blackmore and daniel dennet is embarassing honestly.
