Random Bitcoin & consciousness thoughts

The body exists to contain and limit our consciousness and give it order. For without it, there would be no center of reference. Without a body, without matter, optionality and freedom would be too grand. As in Bitcoin, the limits on blocksize and supply are a necessary part of its design. We also choose to drive on one side of the road because it makes sense to limit our freedom in this construct.

I experience my body only as my own, when I experience the world through it.

While I cannot de facto prove that my consciousness is affected by another consciousness, I do experience it.

When I am perceived by the other, I suddenly realise I exist in another's consciousness. I realise I am perceivable by others, but I can never perceive myself as the other perceives me. I am limited.

CS Lewis makes a similar point in Mere Christianity I believe

Never read it but I'm sure whatever I said has indeed already been said before in some similar fashion haha. We stand on the shoulders of giants. I just love relating it all to bitcoin :)
