How can I be conscious of something that I don't even know exists? And for thousands of years people thought the heart was the earthly seat of the soul and consciousness, and they thought the brain was just some goop inside the head of no more philosophical significance than snot. *> We can't rule out that your consciousness is not located in your brain* > But we don't even need to perform experiments to rule out the brain being the location of consciousness because it is a logical absurdity to say you are conscious of something you were not conscious of. I certainly am not conscious of being imprisoned in a box made of bone, and I very much doubt anybody else is either.
