I'm a neurologist, and as a consequence of my profession, I understand how humans work under the hood.

The average human is so easily convinced that humans "know", "think", "lie", "want", "understand", etc.

But really it's all just a probabilistic chain reaction of electrochemical and thermal interactions. There is literally nowhere in the brain's internals for anything like "knowing" or "thinking" or "lying" to happen!

Strange that we have to pretend otherwise
