    The main problem is the definition of what “us” means here. Our brain is a biological machine guided by the laws of physics. We have input parameters (stimuli) and output parameters (behavior).

    We respond to stimuli. That’s all that we do. So what does “we” even mean? The chemical reactions? The response to stimuli? Even a worm responds to stimuli. So does an amoeba.

    There sure is complexity in how we respond to stimuli.

    The main problem here is an absent objective definition of consciousness. We simply don’t know how to define consciousness (yet).

    This is primarily what leads to questions like u raised right now.
