Model based control theories would beg to differ. Perhaps we've mistakenly believed in the uniqueness and separateness of our subjectivity.
Perhaps minds are brains, and brains are processors, and processing is a material reaction. Perhaps all sorts of seeming bio automata possess it in kind, if not in quality. Maybe it isn't limited to living things at all. Would that make it fundamental? Maybe not, but far more basic than we've supposed, I suspect.
That's what I'm saying, it isn't complex at all, thinking it's complex is arrogant and stupid.
Well, then I guess you're stupid, because "consciousness is just brain stuff and everyone's brain is almost exactly the same."
