that which exists in all shapes

im SO sorry for not answering this sooner omg idek how old this is.. anyway i dont personally have the motivation to do this currently, but i’m definitely interested in the concept and i wouldn’t mind if someone else wanted to take my survey and expand on it!

Eco by Ocean Software, 1987.

The experience of consciousness need not be continuous or maintained as an individual self or subject. Nor is it necessarily extinguished when the smaller constituents of matter combine to make more complex systems, like brains. The human sense of being a self, along with an experience of continuity over time through memory, may in fact be a very rare form of content. Is it possible that alongside the conscious experience of “me,” there is a much dimmer experience of each individual neuron, or of different collections of neurons and cells in my body and beyond? Could the universe literally be teeming with consciousness—with content flickering in and out, overlapping, combining, separating, flowing, in ways we can’t quite imagine—ruled by physical laws we don’t yet understand?

Suggestions welcome!

(I’ll include a link to the list so far in a different post b/c tumblr is weird about links and i want this to show up in the tags!)

“I don’t wanna be as I was before.”

Realized today that i only ever posted this on the alt-h forums and not here... Not that it’s finished, but i have no idea when it will be. Anyway, the idea behind this is a series of collages by a person in an alternate universe 1980s-90s where species transition exists. I definitely want to add more eventually, maybe some accompanying journal entries.. we’ll see! I’m pretty happy with how it’s turned out so far tbh.
