I don't have any particular opinion about individuality. It seems like a more advanced topic. I am more interested in the very primitive basics of what consciousness actually is. Individuality, personality, human psychology...that's calculus. I am looking at multiplication and division. What I can see is that awareness seems ambivalent to the notion of individuality. Altered states of consciousness, mob mentality, mass hypnosis...it's not a well defined concept for me yet. > > Psychopathy (not in the abstract sense, but in the real sense with wich it > appear in humans) exist just because exist morality.

I agree with Roger that consciousness does not depend on morality (however I think that morality is an extension of significance, which is analogous to density or gravity but in the temporal-figurative sense).
