> I see the conscious as part of the meat sack that acts as a witness, a journaller of what the rest of the meat sack does.

That's not what our best current science about consciousness tell us. It tells us that consciousness is part of the process of what "the rest of the meat sack" does; that it's not possible to separate out a "witness" part that "journals" what the rest does. It's all one process.




you can certainly separate what your ears and eyes are doing. You can separate what your conscious is doing to.
