I think Humans choose to be conscious.

I mean, what is conscisouness? It's the unification of several living things who agree on certain ideas, and realities that explain what this world is relative to ourselves.

The consciousness seems to come down to a single mind, but when we look at history, a single mind never accomplishes anything. that mind MUST influence others by financial or through a network of respect.

What this menas is that those who aren't smart enough, can't influence others, and choose to live a life of hobbies, children, drugs, and other distractions.

On the other hand, those who find they can.. get things done-- so to say, even if they are small, the individual gains a certain confidence that encourages them with the idea that they might be able to accomplish their dreams, and as a result, they work to hone their craft. They continue to shoot for more than just basic happiness because they have seen a glimmer of hope, and that evidence is all that is needed to turn someone insignificant into someone who has a lasting, positive impact on humanity.

The point I'm trying to make is that consciousness isn't something everyone has. Doing what the TV, and society says.. It's not a way to live. It doesn't create the opportunity for individual oppinions to be even considered much less formed.

Consciousness isn't this thing chasing happyness. That's your brain. The physical thing that has evolved and exists in monkeys, and I'm pretty sure all mammals. Consciousness is the spark of facination and interest and passion, that puts you into an envrionment and onto a journey that no other human has experienced. This is what creates true individuals.

So when we consider all of humanity from the top down, and we look down onto this planet, and see it's individuals, and their daily lives, how many of you look like ants? Just doing the same things everyday, playing your role in soceity. How can anyone call that consciousness?

Consciousness is the random ant who is doing his or her own thing. Following their dream. Their passion. Taking reality and choosing to control it instead of letting it control them.

Long live Luna!!

 How old are you Luna? 

I get your idealisms, but the world isn't lead by "conscious" people that want to have a positive impact on humanity. It's lead by the same "conscious" people (as you define them), able to control the masses, but for their own personal accomplishments and benefits. Very few people with power get there by giving a fuck about anyone but themselves, and even fewer still have a desire to better humanity when they obtain said influence.

 Luckily, we have the revolution of web technology. Web technology is uniting communities outside of network television and church groups. It's creating a global community where each individual literally has a say.

With the power of global networks, I think humanity can find it's voice, and gain the power they need to take back control of our system from corruption and people with their own selfish interests.

I don't agree. The people who can cope with power get it for themselves, they free themselves from mist governments/corporations blind them with, and figure out their own way to win. The people that can't cope with power, don't have any. Given to them, they'd lose it, and return to being a sheep. It's a hard thing to understand when you're one of the stronger minded ones, but the majority of people not only want but need to be lead by someone else. And the real truth is, in our current times at least, on a world wide scale, fairness isn't financially viable without giving up most of what we've grown accustomed.

You have a very negative view of Humanity. I don't think you will find one person who WANTS to be lead. It's just the level of confidence they have in themselves.

 And you're very optimistic. But you're also clearly smart, so considering your age your fantasy land ideas are acceptable.

 Look, sir, our reality is what we make it. I choose to live in a world where people show extrordinary ability under positive encouragement. Humans want to be happy. If you can give them a reason to live that gives their lives value, they will always go for it. People want better lives. It's good for everyone.

 But people are also lazy, Luna. Humans want to to be happy while spending as little energy as possible.

 Lazy people get bored. I think it's called depression/

 That's your opinion, no? You can't deny that biologically life (and we) are wired to survive while being as energy effective as possible.
