    There’s a lot of assumptions in saying it’s just meaningless chemicals

    • That chemicals are meaningless and lacking intriniic value. Seen from the outside they may appear that way, but evidently from the inside it seems quite different.
    • “We” are not some other unseen brain behavior (not a crazy idea since we’ve never seen consciousness working in the brain)
    • We are within the brain
    • The brain exists at all
    • Any knowledge exists at all (dubious as Mickey points out)
