Reply to comment by tdmoney in Conscious Reality Is Only a Memory of Unconscious Actions, Scientists Propose In Radical New Theory by mossadnik

All those decisions are determined by previous conditions and experiences. "You" do not make decisions. "You" are a feedback loop. The conscious experience is the joining together in the brain of various sensory experiences...it also ignores the vast majority of sensory input. For the record, neurons fire in a deterministic manner.

You and some others are contradictory here. Who rationalizes what?

If brain is just a matter interacting and produces output based on computations inside itself, who rationalizes that afterwards?

There is no one out there. It is still the same dead matter interacting and nothing else. Lifeless atoms do not need to explain anything.
