Why do you imagine that you know the first thing about how consciousness is accomplished let alone what it is. All any of us knows is that we do experience. Nothing you've said is any reason to think the body that follows you around all day is coincidental to your consciousness. To think otherwise is to be willfully obtuse.
Well, like I said before, I figured it would be a good discussion piece. Never at any point did I claim to know anything for sure. I'm simply exchanging my ideas with others. That aside, if my ideas about consciousness are "obtuse" I would invite you to support that with reasons why.
