Even ascribing consciousness into others or ourselves is actually pretty stupid if you think about it.

Stemming from religion there's this idea that human "souls" are somehow special and exist on a plane outside reality. But that's not the case.

We are just semi-rigid blobs of mostly water that grew into weird shapes.

Woah woah there, who you calling a weird shape?

Yeah, round is arguably the most perfect shape
