I can't imagine how carbon fiber is produced, and yet it is. You can't see how a collection of matter running algorithms could be conscious.......
Yeah, I'm sure. One is a way of processing information, and the other is the subjective experience of what things are like. You can poke my brain. Maybe that will change my experiences.
