No consciousness, eh? I suppose your asshole decided to type these words out?
Using meta-bullshit-semi-religious terms like consciousness won't prove anything but how naive you are. I am thinking with my brain, just as you are just like an atom moves because of its energy. There's nothing miraculous or unique about it. You're just inevitably biased because of your perspective on yourself, just like the atom might be. Consciousness is a redundant term and doesn't really mean anything. One need only think about this to understand that this idea of consciousness doesn't hold any water at all. To be conscious would imply to be Godlike. We are not godlike. Everything we do is predetermined by other factors which we can't possibly trace back or comprehend. Therefore, what you call 'consciousness' isn't anything more to humans than, say, gravity is to a planet.
