      Your conciousness is literally a process of the brain’s proprietary code.

      It’s a likely hypothesis but we don’t know that for sure. There’s zero evidence of consciousness outside of your subjective experience of it. We don’t know what it is and how it emerges.

      Well, kinda. The brain is the hardware “the mind” is the software. If we could separate the mind from the brain we could upload ourselves somewhere to live forever. So IMO my brain is just where I keep “me”.

        Because self control is an empty concept.

        Does a thermostat control itself? No, it controls the furnace and air conditioner.
