How was it decided that my consciousness is in this body and not another one?
In another words why am I experiencing the world from this viewpoint?
And even more fucked up question - where I was before?
Is it even possible to have technology to answer these questions?

You decided it before you incarnated. Enjoy your life, you picked it for a reason.

Your consciousness is what happens when your brain develops circular semiotics, which is necessary for modern language.

1 consciousness is emergent property of brain-organ, ie it is physical expression of brain
2 because your brain is inside your skull and not some other place
3 there is no "i" preceding consciousness
4 yes, as we understand emergent properties more consciousness will be defined in that way

>How was it decided that the brain processes going on in this body is going on in this body and not another one?
Well gee, I wonder what could possibly solve this mystery.

Wtf, am I asking the question in a weird way? I feel like I’m phrasing it wrong or you’re all just fucking biorobots without consciousness that just accepted their meat body

the final redpill is you don't exist.
cogito ergo sum is the opposite of truth.

Consciousness isnt an emergent property. Its not a thing. Its just the process in which brain organizes information. External sensor information goes into the brain which is described as being conscious of externalities. Then the brain as an organ organizes that which then is said to be conscious of external sensory awareness. Further the brain is also able to understand its own processing of information, which is then stated to be meta cognition or self-awareness.

Because of all the universes you exist in, from the worst possible outcome to where you're an immortal god, this one is the one that is the average and is the experience "of record". When you die a cascade occurs to the the point where the universe of record becomes the one where you're an immortal god and that is heaven.

"why am i me and not you"
there is a simple explanation:
you ARE me
just not right now
all lived experiences are lived by all first-hand experiencers

I feel like everyone even the greatest thinkers are just spitballing because they have no idea what happens after death. It is weird to be live and to be posting this in the first place. Almost nothing in the universe can make the post.

Consciousness is in all conscious bodies.
There is one conscious substance.
Your self is an illusion caused by memories.
Memories and thoughts are conceived by material processes and brought into conscious awareness.
What individuates and divides each person is memory and derived from experience, which derives from flesh.
What makes you yourself is your memories and thoughts (which can exist in partial forms as fragments in other people who think like you, and derives from experience which derives from material), and the consciousness observing the material processes.

From an outsider perspective we are just a bunch of meat and we can dissect and even understand completely how human brain work, we will eventually even create bilogoical/AI/cyber brains.But there is a problem, YOU are not an outsider.Why your thoughts and memories and everything you experience appears only in your brain? How it was decided that you experience life in your body and not another one?

We would be in a rotating dark matter sphere that heats up enough from a section from the light from a body source underwater. With other ingredients, it shifts people into place.
Because people's bodies are always larger-scaled than locally, to account for expansions.

You're not even you. Particles don't have an identity. How does an excitation in a field have an identity? It's not even a thing.
It's all an illusion constructed by memory and thoughts. "You" only exist as the blips of conscious perception and you disappear when the blip disappears and a new "you" will appear with the next blip. There's nothing else, only the blips. Thoughts are just more blips. Time is just blips too.
I said blip too many timea but you know what I mean. The atoms of perception.

If we create exact copy of you it will be not you, you will still stay inside your body and your copy will have a consciousness of its own. Where this new consciousness came from?

Does any religion even dscribes where we come from except from those who beleive in infinite resurrections?
