Comment on The Significance of Consciousness is Exponential

What use is our ebbing towards ever greater levels of complexity if we don't first express the value of the complex reality we already subsist in?


Probably because it is unconsciously assumed at a fairly basic level in our organic social selves and we rarely query it, even when we do not suppress it, such that, that which make us self-conscious self-organizing self-creative is an urge we do not bother to express consciously (very often).

This urge, this bias, this inclination, this preference, this egoism, could produce a moment of epiphany, a morning of reverie or the nostalgic long now wherein memory subsumes nearly everything.

"We don't first express the value" because we are young and inexperienced, we thus seek experience in a youthful enthusiasm, fools out and about seeking their fortune like wind-scattered dandelion seeds, "we don't first express the value" because it is obvious on our fresh faces, "we don't first express the value" because we are not yet weary enough to complain, "why did no one tell me?"

And when we are tired, and thinking about a face-lift, we wonder, "Why don't they listen?"
