Why does consciousness exist? Sights, sounds, smells, textures, the warmth of love, the sting of sadness. Why and how do we experience any of it? We’ve mapped the entire observable Universe, measured every single neuron in our brains, we’ve even trained machines to think and speak like us.

And yet we still don’t understand the most basic thing about our own existence. Why is there a little person behind those eyes? And a story of your life that exists through time?
