Imagine you’re born without the ability to see, hear, smell, taste or touch. Would you still have a consciousness?
I was just thinking about this today and realized that everything my consciousness is seems to be based off the 5 senses, even my memory…so if I never had them, would I be self aware? Obviously if one has been born with senses, then the memories would allow you to be self aware, but if you never had them, would it be a timeless void of nothingness like death or would you…
