The author has an underlying misunderstanding as an axiom. > “The second important property of consciousness that any theory needs to explain is that consciousness is a single, cohesive experience. My consciousness is of my entire self. It is not of half of myself, nor is it some superposition of you and me. Somehow, whatever is going on in my brain to produce my consciousness contains all the neurons of my brain, not just a subset of them. There are not multiple consciousnesses in my brain, it’s just me in there.” The self is an illusion. A sufficiently complex system built out of transistors can also be fooled into thinking it has a self.
