Like this: Put $50 in singles where your consciousness can see it, then announce loudly to your consciousness that you're going out for a bit. When you come back, count the singles to see if any are missing...
No, wait - that's how you see if you can trust your roommate. Sorry.

All that is to me is just a description of the unique neurological pathways each individual grows into in evolution and even upbringing. I really do not see what is wrong with accepting that consciousness is simply our brain in motion, unique to each individual. "Mind" to me is such a loaded word that theists love to make separate than our physical self, and there is nothing at all that proves there is a separation between our uniqueness like a snowflake or fingerprint, which both depend on physical matter to happen.I dont believe in seperate entity called mind! its just an Abstraction!!!
The problem with using the word "mind" is that it gets twisted even by si fi fans and new agers as an excuse to gap fill, just like old mythological god believers like to use the word "soul".
If everything is made up of atoms, then all a "mind" can be still to me, is each individual's unique manifestation of neurological pathways born from our species long term evolution, and life to death individual interactions.
