Psychology paper you might find interesting

I'm a philosophy student and recently this game has had me thinking a lot harder about consciousness. I can't say my beliefs have substantially changed but it was fun to iron out the details and as I could've guessed, I am by no means the first person to make such theories even beyond what the game covers, so it's nice to not feel like a crackpot.

Anyways, here is a cool paper about memetic consciousness:

Also interestingly enough, this all implies the inverse of rationalism and Hindu/Buddhist metaphysics is true (that the "atman" is more real than the "brahman" and therefore no nirvana or reincarnation for us). I've always felt like Taoism is the closest established religion to what I believe so you might be interested in reading more about that as well.
