Do you deseed the eggplant to eat it?

No, you typically do not need to deseed eggplant before eating it. The seeds are edible and generally not harmful, although some varieties may have a few larger seeds that can be bitter. If you find the taste or texture unpleasant, you can choose to remove them, but most dishes use the eggplant with seeds intact. Cooking methods like roasting can also help mellow any bitterness.
