“The real hard problem of consciousness is that consciousness does not intrinsically belong to you. It is something added to the individual by the group. No one is born conscious. Consciousness is learned, acquired, taught. Consciousness depends entirely on socialization. It has nothing to do with the individual and individualism. Humanity has never faced up to the implications of this. Consciousness is a cultural addition to biology. It’s about memes (culture) added to genes (biology).”
