>>21473222How do all the things know how to interact with each other, to "be themselves" at the macro (e.g.: the "physical world"), and how do you know to interprete them at the micro (e.g.: your mind)? More importantly: what compels you to catalogue them, to experience them in the first place?
Let's say you've found more building blocks and types of glue, particles and forces. Yes, let's say existence is nothing but electrical goo (an euphemism for all different flavors of "physicality" I cannot be bothered to list), then electrical goo is quintessentially parsing and describing itself through you -- and whatever you perceive as the "other". The "other" being the thing that allows you to be you, the thing(s) that allow the electrical goo to assume a unique perspective through you.
If you managed to pad out your physicality to the point of being able to break down the sensation of wind on your skin down to the quantum-whatever, would you be any closer to understanding why you are experiencing it and why it blows your mind (for the first time, which would be a continuum if you didn't get "used to it")? Look at the black mirror right infront of you. It's a bajillion little lights, flickering on and off, conjuring up however many worlds you care to visit with it. The world around you, in turn, may be considered nothing but an infinite sea of eyes, blinking, darting around, shifting focus, conjuring up as many worlds as you care to acknowledge.
Moreso, you are, too, nothing but an amalgamation of a bajillion little critters and motive forces -- cells, bacteria, metabolism, emotions -- ostensibly governed by a single mind. The world around you is, too, just an amalgamation of bajillion little critters and, more than likely than not, governed by a single mind.
