Aren't our brains just pretending that we have an idea of consciousness just because a bunch of people spewed a bunch of words in voiced and written form when we were young?


Well, to some extend we get to define what conciousness means for us, so obviously we’d mark ourselves as concious.

Concious is kind of defined as ‘whatever the human brain does’.


If that were true, who would we be pretending for?
