Zorkrang, have your scientists discovered the nature of consciousness.2

I can't really define it, but I'd like to know what

It is, you know?

What's consciousness.?

I mean consciousness -like the thing that without it I'm not me.

Do you mean executive decision making in the brain? That's mostly in the front part of your head. That's why humans punch at that part when they're having fights.

No, like consciousness! The ineffable unified me!

Is this "consciousness" in the room with us now, jeremy? Can you point to it?

I'm not hallucinating!

You're asking if zorblaxian scientists know what a thing is, and you insist it's a real, important thing, but you don't know what the thing is.

I hate when you make me feel stupid by saying what I've said back to me.

Is that

Consciousness.
