What do you think conscience is?

[mag1caljeet]

We have that little thing in our minds telling us what we are doing is right or wrong. What is it? Is it our intuition? Is it God? What do you think?

I often reflect on it but I haven't come up with anything.

 

[Beyond Everything]

There isn't one answer

• A part of our primate evolution (at least for non-psychopaths)
• Social conditioning (and the limits of this is obvious)
• A tool egregores and hostile beings can exploit to control you (there's where your 'god' comes in)

It's the right half of your brain trying to tell the left half of your brain to STFU.
