A Scholar Is Just A Library's Way

Consciousness Is Cerebral Celebrity--nothing More And Nothing Less. Those Contents Are Conscious That Persevere, That Monopolize Resources Long Enough To Achieve Certain Typical And "symptomatic" Effects--on Memory, On The Control Of Behavior And So Forth.

There Is No Reality Of Consciousness Independent Of The Effects Of Various Vehicles Of Content On Subsequent Action (and Hence, Of Course, On Memory).
