Bryan: 'Funny, my neurons process virtually all my conciousness but
none of them
are concious of anything at all. You seem to agree that consciousness
is not some magical sauce, right?"
______________
Neurons/brain cells alone do not process consciousness/awareness. The
complex brain processes are inter-dependent on the different
structure/physiology of the entire nervous system [spinal cord/nerves
and brain} plus the other organ system functions i.e. circulatory and
respiratory system wherein the failure of one system impacts the entire
organism's consciousness.
These factors determine the nature of your being. No free will or
magical sauce there.
