• Out of curiosity, I always wondered… when do they start being conscious?

    Like we all don’t remember our first years… but at some point, we know we are, we remember, and we see our hands, and go like, “wtf, i’m a person”, and so on

      That’s… tough to define. TBH Consciousness itself is poorly defined.

      Even before they learn language they can communicate, and they respond to their parents voices even in utero. If anything I would say that they just slowly become more conscious over time.
