Thinking about "consciousness" brings to mind how this can be delusional. If the brain is dysfunctional, then "consciousness" might possibly be an illusion. This, then would mean
that any attempt to prove an independent "consciousness" from the physical working of the brain might be an establishment of a deluded outcome. Logic is peculiar in that there are those who are in mental institutions today who claim their logic is infallible. They tend to be absolute in their authoritarian opinion about how things should be. They can prove it to you by their logic. Logic has to be tempered with observable facts, not philosophical manipulations. The first giveaway of a dysfunctional mind is an opinion that won't be tempered by new information.
