Which is something of a puzzle, I suppose. Some people do and some
people don't. So maybe its a biological condition that makes us
hang in there?
Maybe biology doesn't care and it's up to us personally and directly?
Is that not equivalent with "there is no explanation"?
Why would it be?
Because we would like to see what comes from biology, and what comes
personally and directly, and how those happening are related. If not
you refer to the fact as its own explanation, which is equivalent with
stopping thinking.
It makes your "theory" looking like a "don't ask theory".
No, it's a "in some cases you have to ask yourself" theory.
Of course, but that's exactly what is not a theory, nor a machine,
from the machine's 1-point of view. If you refer to that a public
theory, then you get arbitrariness, which is indeed what you
illustrate with your dogma that "machine's will never been able to
think".
And that's already what the ideal machine does answer when you ask her
what she thinks about all this. You can see UDA and AUDA as the
general machine's "ask yourself" theory.
To bad you want not listen to them.
No doubt they will look stupid to you, if you never listen to them.

So that proves that people who commit suicide aren't conscious...?
No, it says nothing about the consciousness of people who
intentionally commit suicide. I don't see the connection. People
commit suicide because the experience of living their lives is
qualitatively intolerable, not because they have a programming
error and can't tell the the difference between killing themselves
and not killing themselves. An automatic pilot is incapable of
committing suicide.
