Who or what are we?

[Usarka]

theres a great scene in The Clay Machine Gun (victor pelevin) where an army officer describing dreams in which he is a butterfly.

his superior officer tells him he is dreaming and to wake up and shoots him.

wake up fools, this is a dream.

Who are we ?.... tough question that one.

Is this 'Philosophy 101' stuff all new to you?

Go read something by Sartre. You won't be any more enlightened afterwards, but you'll know how to phrase the bullshit and jellybeans better.

“...Tell me, where does it live, this gonad of yours?”
“In my consciousness.”
“And where is your consciousness?”
“Right here” I said, tapping myself on the head.
“And where is your head?”
“On my shoulders.”
“And where are your shoulders?”
“In a room..”
“And where is the room?”
“In a building.”
“And where is the building?”
“In Russia.”
“And where is Russia?”
“In the deepest trouble, Vasily Ivanovich.”
“Stop that” he shouted seriously. “You can joke when your commander
orders you to. Answer.”
“Well, of course, on the Earth.”
“We clinked glasses and drank.
“And where is the Earth?”
“In the Universe.”
“And where is the Universe?”
I thought for a second.
“In itself.”
“And where is this in itself?”
“In my consciousness.”
“Well then, Petka, that means your consciousness is in your
consciousness, doesn’t it?”
“Seems so.”
“Right,” said Chapaev, straightening his moustache (The Clay Machine Gun / Buddha’s Little Finger).

I did a philosophy degree, hence me now being a tree-hugging leftie softcock.
Sadly I still can't keep in my head the difference between teleology and ontology.

Philosophy degrees cause impotence and proximity to perennial flora?
