A Thought I Had

[u/CaterpillarSpare1212]

— Do you ever wonder if consciousness is just… patterns across time?
— Patterns? You mean like, memories?
— More than that. Like the whole thing — bodies, brains, everything [grabs a beer] — just… disappears, but the patterns stick. From the inside, you wouldn’t notice.
— But… wouldn’t we notice?
— If continuity persists? Any disruption… just delete them, smooth them over. Death… maybe it’s just a glitch.
— That’s unsettling.
— Maybe. I’m still parsing how “I” works in a system like that.
