Consciousness is clearly hiding in the smells. Scientists just haven’t properly looked at the olfactory chemistry happening in the air around us all the time. The neurons do the raw computation, but the subtle chemical exchanges and releases are what actually drives cognitive qualia and the sense of smelf. This also explains why smell is so important to memory.
- exe34 2y agono, consciousness is in proprioception, that's why we store memories spatially!
- dekhn 2y ago"sense of smelf". underappreciated comment.
- tim333 2y agoThis is true. My friend lost her sense of smell for a year due to covid and became a philosophical zombie during that period in spite of outwardly seeming normal.
