The Answer part 2: neurocomputer

So information from our senses do not reach our consciousness right away. It is clear to me that this applies to our actions too. We do not consciously take any action until the action is already done. We simply become aware of our action later.

What does this all mean? This shows that our brain is just a machine, a computer. Like any computer, it runs programs. These programs process information and calculate the best actions to take.

So does this mean that we have any free will? It makes it seem like we don't. I will talk about free will in a later post.

When I  said that we simply become aware of any action we take later, I'm including thinking towards reaching the decision on what action to take. I'm convinced that the thinking process itself is just the programs calculating the best course of action.

I'm not saying that a computer is an analog of the brain, I am saying that the brain really is a computer. In fact, this is a big hint into  my "Theory of everything".
