Language is an imperfect representation of reality and asking questions such as "What is Consciousness" doesn't really make sense to me. The question is basically asking two things.

1. What is this awareness that we experience and

2. Where does it come from.

For what it is, the best way to understand it is the experience itself. Any language used here will not come close to the actual thing.

For where it came from, the idea of things having to have a reason or having to have some prior cause is something we experience within our perception of reality. Outside of it, things probably just are, existing infinitely without a "reason".

Obviously, the human mind is curious and I want to continue to learn more about the nature of reality, but this seems like a question that is not worth asking and one we will never get an answer to. Maybe the value is in what we learn along the way?

If you're working a job you don't like, you are just spending most of your life trying to entertain others (specifically, rich people who can afford to have entertainment). Most companies aren't providing essential services, they are just ways to keep people entertained and deal with the feeling of boredom. Why don't we instead focus that energy on needing less ways to be entertained? Why do we continue to exhaust our own bodies and minds to play jester when we have a choice collectively to not.
