Explain consciousness? Wow, that's a bigeee.
Unlike CR here I'm not so sure that it is simply a product of the brain. To me it is more likely that the brain hosts the consciousness rather than creates it.
To be honest, no-one really knows what it is. If indeed it is anything at all.
CR says that it is the brain receiving information, but the brain then selects certain information and passes that on to 'me'. So, what part of my brain is me and what isn't. Where exactly am 'I' located?
An organism does not need consciousness in order to be a success. I'm sure that given time we could create an artificial mind that could behave in a very similar way to ours. But would it be self aware? How would we ever know?
I have a sneaking suspicion that consciousness is all that really exists and may well be the root of everything else. After all, the only thing in life that you can ever really know with 100% certainty is that 'you' exist as a self aware entity.
Just a theory...
