Your conscious has no conscious

What a weird concept conscious is, can you really explain it? or even trust it? I remember growing up having it described as this thing that keeps you in check when you are about to do something wrong, or the thing that triggers remorse after you actually do the something that is wrong.

If Wikipedia says it, then it must be true, right .

Consciousness may involve thoughts, sensations, perceptions, moods, emotions, dreams, and self-awareness It has been defined from a biological and causal perspective as the act of autonomously modulating attentional and computational effort, usually with the goal of obtaining, retaining, or maximizing specific parameters, such as food, a safe environment, family, or mates.

well then, your conscious is there to keep you, well, conscious, literately. Nothing else.

When in Rome, do What the Romans do, I know you heard that before. What does this mean really? Why would I do what the Romans do? I guess one can take the easy way out and say, all this is telling you is to be flexible and adapt to your environment. But what if the environment I find myself in is not that wholesome, what do i do? Do i do what the Romans do? would my conscious fire up on all cylinders?

Well we know that our conscious wont, turns out, conscious has a close cosine Sapience, and that is where its at.

Sapience is often defined as wisdom, or the ability of an organism or entity to act with appropriate judgment.

Aha, Sapience, who thought this thing existed. So then, Your Sapience has no Sapience, it can and will sell you out.

Imagine you find yourself in Vatican city,  do you check your Sapience at the door? Does it go on vacation? What happens to Sapience. I mean you are in a very holly place, agree with the pope or not, Christian or not, it does not matter. You respect the place for what it is and act accordingly and usually can turn off Sapience.  Unless of course something hits you in the head and think, what a lovely looking girl over there, oh boy I would love her number. Your sapience then springs into action and smites you. I mean what are you going to do, there is nothing unnatural about attraction, but not in Vatican city, something about that place requires you to elevate your game to a better plateau.Your judgment is in question, that’s what sapience dose, a judgment checker that has memory.

On the flip side, What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, an invitation to do bad, bad however is relative to what you are used, relative to what sapience remembers. if you never drink, you can have yourself a margarita in LV and that is enough badness. The question is, what is your Sapience doing before and after the act. Before you take your first sip, Sapience is revving up, desperately trying to talk you out of it. As you get closer and closer to the end of the glass, your sapience, is ready for a nap. Another one? hmmm, tempting, sapience is not resisting as much…. Now that you had your first drink, next time, the thrill is gone, you need a new plateau.  See sapience is about plateaus once you get to one, no going back. You need something else to get Sapience fired up. Because from that moment on, it has sold you out, your sapience has no sapience to go back and check on you, it kinda goes unconscious.

Even if you land in Las Vegas from a direct flight from Rome, Sapience will not help you, even if it was all nice and hovering on that highest plateau back in Vatican City 7 hours before. Sapience will only fire up, if you are ready to dare it.

Be careful when your conscious, your sapinece might be sleeping, and if you are in Rome, you should not always do what the Romans do, after all, they had 32,000 prostitutes in Rome alone back in 27 BC
