Me too.

I disagree with this too.

It could be a disposition. 

“What. Brain does” is ambiguous. Is it the neural firing, or the action of 
muscles, or … bombs and rockets.

Darwinism makes no explanative sense without Mechanism, but with Mechanism 
things are necessary like that:

NUMBER => COMPUTATION => CONSCIOUSNESS => PHYSICAL APPEARANCE => HUMAN 
CONSCIOUSNESS

It is a relative number property (or combinator, program, digital machine, …). 
Each universal number in arithmetic is an initial consciousness starting point. 
The physical reality is the product of consciousness differentiation in the 
arithmetical reality (actually: in any model of any arithmetical or Turing 
universal theory).

This is logically inconsistent with Descartes Mechanism. Without mechanism, it 
is consistent, but still problematic with Occam razor and the absence of 
evidence for primitive matter.
