Quote of the Day

“The brain is necessary for consciousness. Of course! Just as an engine is necessary in a car. But an engine doesn't ‘give rise’ to driving; driving isn't something that happens inside the engine. The engine contributes to the car's ability to drive."

"Trying to understand consciousness in neural terms alone is like trying to understand a car driving down the road only in terms of its engine. It's bad philosophy masquerading as science.” – Philosopher Alva Noe
