Wow, so this is such a great artical. Michio Kaku basicly theorizes that the difference between us and animals is that we percieve time. By having the ability to conceptualize time, we are able to predict the future. So consciousness.. is the ability to see predict the future in a somewhat accurate way.
What is your “space-time theory of consciousness?â€

You say we have a “CEO†in our brain. What exactly is that?
Your “CEO in the brain†seems to act with intent and purpose. But neurons just fire or don’t. You can’t say they have purpose, right?

What is self-awareness?
Are we merely biological machines?
What’s the future of the human brain?
How will artificial intelligence change our view of humanity?
