DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[I_am_not_mafia]

I've never seen a "problem" with consciousness.
We know it's entirely dependent on functioning brains. They have "mapped" individual functions (hearing, judgment, planning etc) to specific identified brain areas, which ... if damaged by trauma or stroke or other diseases, impair that function. Sensory inputs, rapidly referenced to memory produces what we experience as "now", (but in fact isn't "now" ... it took a few nanoseconds to "process the inputs", so it's really already "past".

Quite agree.

Consciousness isn't a single binary state where you either have it or you don't. Some people are more conscious of why they act than others. So at it's simplest level it could be nothing more than a reading of the general activity of a neural network fed back in as an input.

For example, if you feel stressed, you generally try and figure out why.

I don't see it as a hard problem at all. It only becomes hard once you use words like qualia. But then this becomes a problem of defining your words.
