What's special about self-awareness? Could it be a trick of the brain?
It's like the story of Jimi Hendrix dropping acid and playing amazingly well. Or, rather Jimi under the influence thought so — until he heard the recordings.
A "magic" trick perhaps? One that can't be explained by anything we currently know about physics? The materialist point of view is becoming increasingly incoherent and I think that's what angers many of them.
It's completely magical to me that I'm now aware that you think you awareness is nothing magical
> The mind is like a calculating device
How does that explain your self-awareness?
