So you think all things have consciousness, but, are humans unique in having will?

And is will a real property or an illusion. Considering I used to believe consciousness is an illusion, but now I believe that everything is conscious, I wouldn't be surprised by a learning trajectory which leads me to believe that will is also fundamental.

Every living organism has a sense of 'I' consciousness, as demonstrated in their ability to make decisions like avoiding predators and finding food, even fungi demonstrate this decision making in navigating mazes, 'not in the human sense' is completely irrelevant, we're talking about consciousness, not intellect.
I meant read a book in general, you don't have any education at all, you assume that if you don't understand something then it doesn't make sense, the reason why a god would choose to forget is very simple and logical and easy to conceptualize, if you have infinite power and can do anything, how long will it take until you get so bored you try to make it exciting in some way by creating simulations where you forget you're god, and how long will it take till you get bored of easy to beat simulations and make something extremely complex, you can experience this for yourself, turn on godmode in a videogame.

I dont think humans are unique in having will

Wrong, these 'decisions' can very easily be pre-programmed responses and even just 'instinct', its like protocol, you are just assuming that all living organisms have a sense of 'I', you don't KNOW that.

I highly doubt plants have a sense of 'I', they are basically like a simple computer programs. Everything that a plant does could be 'coded', it does not require consciousness to do what it does.

Just systems that 'respond to stimuli', in fact, that's really all that plants do, respond to stimuli.



A lot of the people defending this nonsense are just trying to rationalize their narcissism

But it makes no sense at all, of course there are 'other people'.

Plants change in lots of complex ways when responding to threats and their environment, like their morphology for example, the act of photosynthesis is also a quantum mechanical process, I highly, highly doubt you could simulate you plant
