On Consciencenous

What does it mean to be conscience? It means being able to focus on something and then process that information through the filter of memory. So in effect the state of being is simply: Attention + memory = conscience.

All Dan, John Stamos and Adolf Hitler are and were is the ability to precieve and remember. But does my life lose any value because I can be broken down into a series of neurotransmitters and cells? Is it inherantly bad that my personality, social prowess and love for porn is nothing but electricity and chemicals?

I don't think so. The ability to understand how a people understand is the inherant beauty in being human. I can concieve of how I concieve. Visualiz how I visualize. The very fact that I have a cortex makes me supierior to so many other living things on earth.

Which inevitably leads to the question: Because I can use something do I have the right to use it all I want?
