As I was saying, your brain is literally part of your body. It's a living organ of your body that receives those inputs, as you say, from the rest of your body.

> And in principle you don't even need a brain, you could replace that with some matrix multiplication or transistors that do the same stuff.

I completely disagree here, and that's why guessing that a bunch of matrix multiplications are coscient and have self awareness of their own experience while running in a CPU seems quite hilarious to me.

But hey, that's just my opinion.
