That contradicts the monism related to the idea that consciousness is the fundamental things. With mechanism, the difference between natural and artificial is … artificial. And thus it is natural, plausibly for the entities who have a big ego, and feel different if not superior. > In an artificial entities the functional parts that they contain are 100% > knowable by us, because it is us who put them there in the first place.

In science, we usually prefer to assumes simple things, and make them more complex, only when evidences forces us into. Or we abandon the theory, and look for another simple theory. > > This of course, besides the fact that the brain does not exist, being just a > quale in consciousness.
