Artificial intelligence, humans and self-awareness You seem to assume you are aware of a stone while that stone is not aware of you.
However you can only be aware of what you are aware of. You cannot be aware of what the stone is aware of or not aware of.
You even think, it appears, that you are aware of you.
However, you (or what arises as a thought of you) is merely what arises in what we define as "awareness".
The stone also arises within this same awareness as the thought "me". The "me" which comes into contact with the stone.
"me", however (as with "you") is merely an arising thought. A thought which arises in awareness.
