The real hard problem of consciousness is that it’s multiple different things at the same time.
It’s like a human body. You are all things at once: all your cells, your lungs, your thoughts, your whole skin—simultaneously.

Besides that, everything flows in and out temporarily. You hold and exhale a breath for a few seconds. For those seconds, that breath is a part of you. If you eat fish, you hold that fish in your stomach and, for a while, you partly become that fish.

Another analogy is that life is on a continuous spectrum while also being on a discrete one. In practical terms: your bladder fills gradually, but there is a discrete moment when you notice that you have to go to the bathroom. You cross a certain threshold. The same with emotions: the water overflows.

So, when you make life (or a person) one thing, you take it out of the continuous and turn it into a temporary discrete (0,1), while you are actually all things at once. So when I say: you are crazy, you are still all other things.
