Index note Koch's bee; where does consciousness end; Kurzgesagt video

“Who am I?” the question whose curiosity itself is the question and the answer. How does a living being have consciousness as we describe, we are to a point where we think if the neurons in the brain could be a key to consciousness. A question asked by a Neurologist Christof Koch , that ”Does a bee have consciousness?” which is easily extended to every other living being having sufficiently developed brain or neural network for eg. dogs, As our brain is home to 100 billion neurons with about ten thousand synapses per neuron , Does a mosquito have consciousness, at what level does consciousness ends?, If consciousness is due to activity of neurons which is electrical due to spikes, then does a system like laptop or internet have consciousness. On the other thought, how do we start a thinking process, if every action has cause and effect how it emerges in our brain, major culprit would be the external world and the inputs we get from other intelligent beings and the environment. What property in nature gives rise to consciousness?, How we experience unconciousness, the part which is there but not me. (Un)Consciousness could finally boil to connections and synaptic weights in brain.

Here is a video about consciousness by Kurzgesagt
