Who's Lila?
What makes us, us? What makes us conscious beings living in this world?
"I think, therefore I am", is the popular principle of Rene Descartes that one generally points to as proof of their existence, but aren't one's thoughts, by definition, entirely imaginary?
Our memories are in the past, our futures uncertain, only thing we have for the present are our thoughts and our personality, things that have no physical interpretation and exist in the grey area between biological functions and consciousness. But this is undeniably a real thing, humans aren't philosophical zombies, there's an unique, subjective aspect to one's experience that is tied to a singular point of view. As soon as we try to take this experience and move it to something understandable for others we abandon that point of view.
We don't tend to think about these things unless we question our own self, our ego that we made up and the body we inhabit. When we fear losing control, we think about what it is to control one's self, one's own mind.
One of the creepiest things that can happen to us, is feeling like we have something other than ourselves vying for control in our own mind, but the reality of the situation here is far more terrifying. We play in the body of William overtaken by the being Lila, an entity/consciousness with inscrutable goals. What does it want in this body
The game is a fascinating journey, we control Lila, push it towards different objectives, some making much more sense than others, and some random ARG shit which while annoying gives a certain feeling that the game is crossing boundaries in the real world. We change our behaviour, our expressions and our actions. In a sense we are playing around in this world, as we try and find an answer to the question of. Who's Lila?
