We dissect and classify ever smaller.
Our probing machines, able to measure electricity and chemistry, find just what they are designed to.
We surmise that all is chemistry and electricity!
How could it be otherwise?
That most refined and complex of objects, the human brain, is only chemistry and electricity. We have looked closely and there is sadly nothing more!
And so, ‘consciousness’ is now only an anomalous by-product of this complex electrochemistry. A wasp trapped in a jar or a ghost trapped in the machine.
It must be so, because that is what our experiments tell us.
