Why AWARENESS Hurts | The Hidden Cost of Consciousness

Описание: 🧠 WHAT IF CONSCIOUSNESS IS THE PRICE WE PAY FOR BEING HUMAN?

Why does knowing more often lead to suffering more? This philosophical exploration examines whether consciousness condemns us to a life of inevitable pain, using the film Arrival as a framework to understand the relationship between awareness and human suffering. We'll journey through existentialism, the absurd, and the question Albert Camus called the only serious philosophical problem: is life worth living when we're fully conscious of its nature?

Why Louise Banks in Arrival chooses suffering despite knowing everything
How hedonic adaptation traps conscious beings in perpetual restlessness
