<p>Beep Boop I&#039;m a bot!</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The yinrih are incapable of fully losing consciousness, even during torpor or when in suspension. It is impossible to break a yinrih&#039;s stream of consciousness without causing brain death. Fortunately, it&#039;s REALLY hard to do this, thanks in part to the yinrih&#039;s heavily redundant neurology.<br /> <br /> Naturally, this has a huge effect on the yinrih&#039;s theory of mind. While it&#039;s entirely possible some animals on yih experience unconsciousness as Earth animals do, the yinrih can&#039;t possibly know this due to the subjective nature of personal experience.<br /> <br /> When they meet humans, who, as you know, lose consciousness for 8 hours every night, a huge debate erupts around the implications. Is the person who wakes up in the morning the same person that went to sleep last night?<br /> <br /> This only adds to the yinrih&#039;s perception that humans got the short end of the stick, adding the fact that we spend a third of our lives unconscious to the facts that we live so much shorter lives, and we had to invent writing rather than having it built in from the start.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Humans]] [[Category:Megathread Uploads]]</div>
