Thinking About Consciousness

[s~Z]

>>>"Consciousness is real, but like stage magic -- it has a mundane
scientific
explanation," said Daniel C. Dennett, a philosopher and cognitive scientist
at Tufts University. "It's all just brain mechanisms and their activities.

"All the work that one imagines being done by the ego are really done by
bits of the brain. Those brain tissues are not conscious and do not know who
you are or care -- but their activity adds up to 'conscious you.' "<<<

Sounds like they are equating 'consciousness' with 'ego' and coming to a
very Hindoo conclusion. But, they stop a bit short by postulating that the
body-mind organism is ultimate reality.
