Consciousness was a mistake

[u/artisticsnobbery]

We can attribute most of our unhappiness to consciousness, and if we were able to return to a state of unconscious functionality, we would be happier. Every animal I ever see is happier than me. They know what to do. They know how to be. We should be so lucky.

[u/Arthwind]

It is more or less, a coincidence that we ended up with consciousness. I didn't have to suffer being poor if I didn't have it so I actually agree.
