   As I understand it, consciousness is something in the present   
   moment. But it has always puzzled me, how do we know the present moment   
   is the same for everyone? What if I am conscious here and now, but you   
   are conscious yesterday morning? or perhaps Sat, 27 Apr 2024 13:35:53   
   +0200 would be a better example.
