People keep telling me that consciousness is just some illusion which happens inside brain neural network.
However, in case of mathematical universe hypothesis, nothing really happens.
If you have a mathematical universe with seed 42, which you spend a lot of effort actually simulating, it is not in any way different from a mathematical universe with seed 43, which you don't. Neural networks have exactly the same zero amount of consciousness in both cases.
Why do we feel that we exist? Who does the feeling part?
