Episode 5.16: What it is not like to be me. And what it is.

I recently had a moment of real realisation about a problem with the notion of what it is like to be me that I have not taken into account in my discussion of the relationship between the conscious and non-conscious existence of each living thing. So I’m trying to clear that up now in this episode and to move on a little bit into new territory that I think proves very fertile. What is it like to be a bat? Well, it is not like a bat to be a bat. That’s the short answer. And it’s not really like being me in some total sense to be me.
