Those things, of which you speak, PROCESS, not CREATE energy. You've effectively contradicted yourself, but at least it SOUNDED impressive, as if you knew what you were talking about....It's a common mistake...I forgive you..that being said, you might want to re-examine your thoughts on the matter!

Tiredness and being asked to share the computer before I finish cleaning up what I am in the process of explaining. As I seem to remember I went on to talk about how the energy to run that process was 'created by chemical energy' i.e. 'was sourced from chemical energy' which is just another transformation. "There is something scientifically vague we call (a state of) 'consciousness', which is the observed emergent result of complex electrical currents in the neurons. When that current flow stops, so does the consciousness -> oblivion." Thus the 'energy of consciousness' doesn't go anywhere when the organism ceases to function, i.e. 'continue to precess transformations of energy' that end up being perceived by external observers as a 'state of consciousness'. I suspect you really understood, but are just trying to have fun by 'misunderstanding' - either that or you are genuinely confused between 'hard science' and 'layman misrepresentation of semantic objects' :-)
