Who WE are
Do the things we have determine who we are?
Expensive smartphone, car, computer... do they make us more successful? Happier? There are scientific arguments that everything has consciousness. Theory put forward by Giulio Tononi. He said that if matter has a large amount of connected information, then it has a system, and the system revives its proto-consciousness, and he presented an example of a connection of molecules. Their discussion begins from the moment when the universe appeared, then initially with matter consciousness appeared same time, and to be a little reliable, then its beginnings, that in the end, we are came, out of the final product. But the question is: Do the things we buy change us? Do they have a little bit of soul in them? Or do we animate them ourselves? Do we control them? Or are they us? Does the algorithm know me more than I know myself? Does it see me from the inside?
Do they give us meaning to live? Or are they dragging us into the abyss of madness? Who we are without them? Who would Arthur be without his Excalibur? Who am I without my pain? Sometimes it seems to me that the line when gadgets merged into one with us, has long been passed… And we no longer need to regret or grieve about anything…
