Consciousness Evolves
The nature (and therefore the experience) of consciousness evolves, driven (I contend) by the utility of the successful experience. So....it evolved into some kind of notable existence...and it continues to evolve even now....What forces drive this change? What greater utilities might exist in the successful experience of consciousness tomorrow?
Reality TV shows et al. might fascinate us not for what they show us of our real selves, reflected in the revealed lives of others but perhaps how we might come to live our own lives. They show us lives that can be lived, examined and re-examined. Lives that are open and scrutinised by others allowing the observed to better access their unconscious selves. After all, the insights and opinions of others on our behaviour may well be more useful (to us!) than our own opinions. It is the magic mirror on the wall that tells us the effective truth about ourselves. Perhaps we wish to live our lives with the clean lines of a soap opera.
