“We know from introspection and axiom that consciousness can have thoughts about itself that, by analog to Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, means that the brain’s computations cannot be completely described using the findings of the system itself.”
Patrick House, Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness

“Brains are not the product of a single evolutionary line with any kind of plan or reason but a Frankensteinian patchwork of error, theft, malformation, crookedness, accident, and chance: like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, consciousness goes wherever the currents take it.”
Patrick House, Nineteen Ways of Looking at Consciousness
