I could have sworn that was Dan Aykroyd for a minute.
“Give me a scientific explanation of consciousness.”
Why do you keep asking people to do that? It’s annoying.
Because my original point was about consciousness.
You're one of those dufi who jumps in the middle of conversations to harass people when you have no idea what the conversation is about, aren't you?
