That the conscious mind is what makes us "special". it makes us different than animals, for instance. And yes, perhaps our consciousness is more developed than animals in that we can notice what are meat sack does and journal it in a better way, but i see no evidence that it is in charge of anything.

      > I see the conscious as part of the meat sack that acts as a witness, a journaller of what the rest of the meat sack does. That's not what our best current science about consciousness tell us. It tells us that consciousness is part of the process of what "the rest of the meat sack" does; that it's not possible to separate out a "witness" part that "journals" what the rest does. It's all one process.
