dude, i was thinking about joining a city league dodge ball team. It costs $250 though. Playing street hockey is free but i have really been craving a dodge ball game. I can't find any knuckle heads to who want to play it though. Maybe, i need to wander over to the next neighborhood and play with those kids huh? 😂

Bob steals the food and survives to have kids with Carol.Materialistically it's a result of the way in which the brain is wired which is so complex that we might as well say "a wizard did it" and be done with the whole question.
Very Sartre esq explanation. I think he links it to our ability to diffrentiate ourselves from other objects, thanks to our ability to remember that we change through time. In other words i can remember that things can change, I also remember I change, eventually with a lot of evolution and pure luck the first self conscious entity came to the conclusion that they too must be a thing. As this gave the conscious entity several adavantages (See Sartre and the freedom of consciousness) he then bread.
