Everyone here is right, because its from all of these sources and more. Ive been saying it for years independently of any outside source. Its an awareness or realization you can gain sometimes by conversing with them after you've woken up, and it hits you like a ton of bricks. "This person isnt actually using thoughts to communicate with me... they are just saying phrases in hopes for a response. 'I cast magic missile at the darkness'. Holy shit. They arent truly conscious." And then it becomes a new level of understanding and worldview.

Thats why it instantly resonates with awake people. I cant tell you how many times I see this lightbulb over people's heads when I talk about it, because its a concept you already knew but didnt have formed into words.
