Even in this case, I do believe we still need to make a distinction between a cognitive act like guessing/planning/decision-making (about which we can conceive of an explanation entirely in terms of neurobiological processes, at least theoretically) and the conscious awareness of that act. This is because there is something that comes off as very weird about consciousness that warrants its own category of investigation.

But I will agree that, in humans, the two tend to correlate together (at least sometimes).

Suppose I tell you that I’m thinking of a number between one and ten, and I ask you to guess what it is. Can you make that guess without being aware that you’re making a guess?
