I don't know how you can trick yourself so badly into believing that if you put some rocks together, the rocks become alive. Maybe because you think that the brain is just a bunch of atoms. No, it is now. If you were to measure what the electrons are doing in the brain, you would see that they are not moving according to known physics, but they are being moved by consciousness. And this doesn't happen in a machine. In a machine, electrons move according to known physics.
