Confident man
OOOOHHH!!! MYGOD!!! THISFUCKINGGUY!!!
Hym "The picture... Is 2 women staring at his fat cock... One overtly and the other is kind of side-eyeing it... What about that has anything to do with being a confident man? 'You see how confident I am in women's endless desire for fat cocks?' We're in euphemism land! We're in pretend euphemism land! Confidence? Jesus Christ!"

Brains
Speaking of brains...
Hym "Speaking of 'brains'... Mine isn't feeling very good right now Mr. Audience. So, in case I don't get the chance later, I'm going to do the last one now and then even if it's not the last one then you will know that chronologically that this one is supposed to be the last one. Alright? Fantastic! Ok. Here we go. The last one ever but not actually, just, you know, chronology. Ok."
Soul
Yeah, you saw it too? The gaping chasm of semantic-space he expects people to fall into? You see it? But I appreciate you saying that though.
Hym "Nah, you know that by 'Soul' I mean 'The energy that powers your Meat-Gundam and leaves your body when you die. Can't be created or destroyed. Comprises your thoughts.' It's also interesting to consider the process by which new ideas are inseminated. Like the idea of a "God." Where did the idea come from in a pre-God world? The concept of a God was (at one point in human history) was not stored in a single human brain. It has to come from somewhere, doesn't it? So, how does electricity traveling through the brain create an abstraction to store within the meat-jelly for later recollection?

I would posit that the information is ALREADY stored within the 'energy' and the brain acts as an extraction tool. That the energy itself informs our brain just as much as sensory data and that our goal in understanding consciousness should be finding a way to decode/unlock/translate this information. So, for clarity, I'll give you an example: Say I think of an apple. You could scan my brain and see the areas of my brain light up. If you were to find a way to externally stimulate the exact same parts of the brain; would you be able to make me think of an apple against my will? Now, I'm not talking about a feeling (like "can you stimulate my brain into feeling afraid?") Does 'apple' exist in the part of the brain being stimulated and can you access it externally? Will ANY electric current stimulating the EXACT same parts of the brain create the same imaginary apple that exists in my mind right now? Does the mind inform the mind by way of electrical signal or does the electrical signal inform the mind? Is the part of my brain that houses the concept of 'Apple' sending a signal to the part of the brain that conceptualizes 'Apple' OR is the act... of 'thinking of apple' generating this electrical current... that IS 'apple'? You follow? I don't know I'm running out of characters. It's something to consider, I guess... Or rubbish. Either way... Yeah... That's what I mean by soul."
Religious Text
What it would look like... If you got rid of all of the world's religious texts... And then introduced the Bible... To the people who didn't know anything about the Bible... And asked them if it "felt like God"... Is a thing that has already happened... Because there is a time that predates the Bible... And it WAS introduced to the people that existed (at that time)... And they were like... "Yeah, it does seem like there is a thing that makes people act collectively (to commit genocide sometimes) and can be cruel and arbitrary and make your existence torment (seemingly with intent) and, like, make a bunch of kids die at the same time n' stuff"... That happened... And now here we are... Now you say "Well, replicate the experiment. Wipe the board and do it again. Would it be the exact same thing?" And it's like: I don't know there might be some recurring themes. They would all boil down to the same basic proposition: "A thing" that consists (at least in some small part) of a will that is not your own makes reality occur around you and can act with intent "against" or "for" you and the nature of your existence is entirely dictated by your interaction with this thing and it can either be arbitrarily dope or horrific... or a mixture of both...

Hym "Ohohohoho... You wish to challenge the Demigod of the conceptual realm!? The first prophet of the digital age!? Very well filth pig... Ok,
you know what I always thought was stupid? I think it was Hitchens quoting somebody saying (and I'm paraphrasing) 'The only way to get someone to commit an atrocity and think it's good is by way of religion' and it's stupid because isn't not impossible... for an atrocity to have happened... Before the advent of religion... If you conceptualize an act and then commit the act, you MUST (on some level) view that act as 'Good' or at the very least justifiable. So, why would you need external validation from a God to conceptualize an act as'Good', commit the act, and maintain that the act was 'Good'? It seems backwards. Like saying pre-religious text atrocities (like killing other tribes) where conceptualized as 'Bad', acted out in spite of the fact that they were conceptualized as 'A bad thing to do', and it wasn't until somebody came along and said 'Nonono guys it's fine. There's a magical reality monster that WANTS us to do things like this so.... We're good. That's fine.' Why would anyone think committing an atrocity think they were wrong if the were willing to commit an atrocity to completion. You don't need God to commit atrocities. Monkeys commit 'atrocities' and absent of God why would they do it if not 'feeling as though they should do it in the absence of reason?' Because Monkey can't reason. Monkey only 'feel as though they should do things.' You would need a revelation AFTERWARDS. You would need to do the thing you conceptualized doing and realize that it was 'Bad'.

Group of evil retards B (On the other hand) are narcissists who are all (kind of) trapped in their own solipsistic experience. AND they think they're superior to you along ideological and moral lines (Unless you do what they want)."
Iam 'Uuuuh, I'm not seeing a-"

Self-conscious thought
Hym "Which is a ridiculous thing to say... It's like saying '2 Broke Girls is on the same channel as Young Sheldon! They're functionally the same show! They wouldn't be on the same channel if they weren't the same show!' and that's ridiculous. Preposterous even! So, self-conscious thoughts are still not the same as negative emotion but it would be convenient for you for people to view thinking about themselves as a negative thing."
