I would say that things happen in consciousness, not that consciousness does something.
So, it is an epiphenomenon.

I don't know. I don't think we know whether or not consciousness is the product of brain activity/structure or if the physical structure of the brain allows us to access consciousness.
Great point. It is so much happier to delude oneself into believing one has free will than to face the fact that one does not. Who is going to join a religion that forces one to acknowledge a real downer?Interesting that you believe you have no control over your actions That would really suck

Are you claiming that people have free will?People who are delusional often fascinate me, Sybil. Please explain your proof that human beings lack free will.
An AI system can set tasks for itself and complete them. This fulfills one definition of free will.
Are you claiming that people have free will?
I defined it. Ability to set a task and complete it.
Don’t humans simply parrot what they are taught?
Why are people obsessed with free will?
Without consciousness there could be no intentional action. Humans would be the equivalent of mannequins.
It's a simple question: Are you claiming that people have free will?who made you post that.......your computer programmer?.....
I can't pretend to have even a modicum of knowledge about artificial intelligence.
Intuitively, however, I doubt that believing in free will is in any way a product of actually having it.
We have no scientific proof that free will exists in any domain, organic or electronic.

I didn't say that I doubted your conjecture. I simply asked a question. If you aren't educated enough to recognize a question, that isn't my fault. If you are stupid enough to render vicious judgements against those who simply ask questions for having asked questions, that isn't my fault either.yes, (he responded freely).....and in addition, I wilfully call you a fucking idiot for doubting it.......
Physics says that the illusion of "consciousness" and "free will" stems from neurochemical synapses, not the other way around, i.e. that no independent, free-floating consciousness, free of any physical basis, is nonetheless driving physical neurochemical synapses.I don't know. I don't think we know whether or not consciousness is the product of brain activity/structure or if the physical structure of the brain allows us to access consciousness.
It is a matter of how you define consciousness. I think it describes too many different phenomena to make it one thing.
