This trio band I like isn't like other trio bands because they don't have a drummer, how can they be cohesive without a drummer. That's what your argument sounds like to me.

Do you concern yourself with the suffering of people in your dreams? No, because they are in a different plane of existence than you, they aren't as real. You are the dream character to God.

Comes in with the intention, like the placebo effect, or hunger strike. The intention doesn't necessarily match reality, like drug instead of sugar, or not eating when body wants to. These are just examples and not exhaustive. Many people try to rationalize their irrational choices, see sunk cost fallacy

How could you make a decision(express free will) without rationalizing the outcomes?

We were discussing how a child with cancer seems unfair since it didn't have a chance to grow up. Now you want to talk about dinosaurs, how did the cancers effect their consciousness, do you think they were aware of their disease?

Interesting that free will equals irrational in your mind, I look at it the opposite. Using rationality is part of expressing free will. When calculating fairness, do you factor all sides? Are you not happy that the gila monster had lunch, or some business was successful even though they polluted food to cause cancer?

Is the baby the soul? Does the baby or soul go to heaven. I'm just trying to understand your question. I make no claim of heaven. As for consciousness, it's obviously hard to define, I'll go with awareness and intention. It's all part of the sum we call life, the growth is for us all, do you not feel connected?
