Your notion seems to belong to an existing school of thought on consciousness. I forget its technical name, but the idea is that the thing we perceive as consciousness is just a side affect, an artifact of the process, an effect not the cause, a shadow. That we perceive it to be "the decider" is an illusion. Per this school it is inconsequential except that, like any illusion, it can affect our brain's decisions.
