Why miss out the first paragraph? Is it because you cant define them?
Quote:
Concerning the second paragraph, I do not know. I have no memory of self-awareness before about 2.7 years old. Did I have it but simply have forgotten or was it not there at all? No way to know.
Using the mirror test, science says that babies dont have self awareness. Are you saying that science is wrong? Or that theres no way of knowing if they have self awareness?
Also, noticed this quote from you earlier
Quote:
it does not have the spark within it that is aware that it exists in the way that I do
Theres a whole lot of assumptions here. That a spark exists, that that is what is aware, and that that spark is you.
Have you got any proof ? Or are you just accepting beliefs that have been drilled into you ( and everyone else) since you were born?
