An ancient philosopher once proposed that consciousness was not a holy thing, nor evidence of the soul, but rather the excrement of the nervous system that ran our bodies. As the bowel metabolizes food to keep us alive but excretes feces, so too does the nervous system maintain our bodily functions while excreting consciousness.
Imagine then, the effluvium that must result from billions of brains collectively and constantly shitting into the same online sewer. That is the internet.
