Extreme cases are often the best way to expose the limits of an argument. And as for your claim about brains and consciousness, correlation is not causation.
That’s causation. Somebody with normal consciousness gets brain damage, then they have different consciousness. Correlation that’s only when one event happens first is what we call causation.
It’s still possible that concsciousness isn’t really created by brains, but it would have to be an enormous hoax to create the appearance of a perfect causal connection.
I was just trying to be helpful in giving feedback since you’d gotten a bunch of downvotes and no comments explaining why.
