I 103
Consciousness/brain/Dennett: (according to Dawkins) The brain works with a software that is designed to create the illusion of sequential data processing (the "consciousness stream"). However, this is missing in most animals.
I 103
Gene/brain/Dawkins: The reason why genes cannot directly control our behavior like with marionette cords is time delay.
The genes control protein synthesis: this is effective but slow.
Behavior: is, on the other hand, very fast.
I 110
Consciousness/Dawkins: Perhaps consciousness arises when the brain simulates the world so completely that this simulation must contain a model of its own ((s) of the simulation, for every simulation is indeed a model of the world).
Dawkins: Why is there not a model of the model, etc.?
