"Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking inside a radio for the announcer"

 A

Have you ever just been doing something normal but then look down at your hands and kinda start laughing? It's like "holy shit, I'm alive, there was a point where I didn't exist but now i do :O" It's weird cuz usuually you don't look at life as this crazy thing you just kinda live it but I have those moments sometimes :P

The first time that I questioned my existance was when I was 6 years old. I asked to my grandma "Why am I the only one who's able to see?". I didn't know exactly how to explain it, I was too young, but what I meant was: "Why do I feel and can only feel with my own senses? Why do I feel that I exist? How does this all make sense?"

The idea of Consciousness is something that has always baffled me. I remember asking my 5th grade teacher what would happen if our brains were swapped. He couldn't understand my question but then i myself didn't know i was trying to understand consciousness.
