Let’s take seriously your flat claim that “consciousness IS physical changes in the brain.” These are your words John, and I’m going to accept this as the definitive statement of your position.

Now...

Describe to us the very physical changes that just occurred in your brain when you read this statement.

Don’t give us a textbook description of the physical changes. You won’t need to. Describe from the experience ITSELF what physical changes took place.

Remember, “consciousness IS physical changes in the brain.”

By the way, quantum events are ESSENTIALLY random. To equate volitional thought with quantum events would wreck your theory. A theory consisting of randomly chosen thoughts would be as meaningless as a book consisting of randomly generated sentences.
