If you could ask one question and get a 100% true answer, what would it be and why?

OF WHAT? There's nothing to give you. I could lay out an exact map of your brain and you would still complain. You obviously just desperately want there to be some magic, because everything else would just implode your world. There is no magic.

Also, if you want your pseudoscientific parlance: non-existence can't be proven. However, you're arguing for the existence of something. It's your burden to prove it.

The burden of proof is on you, not me.

If there's nothing to give me then I guess you're agreeing it's not so straightforward.

You can go away now. 🥂 cheers.

You claim that there is more. There is currently no evidence of "more".

So you have to provide evidence.

BTW: awesome move, to just unilaterally end the conversation, if you're actually challenged. Totally not ignorance, nope, that's a scientist right there.

Why is it conscious? This suggests that an explanation of consciousness will have to go beyond the usual methods of science.

First of all, "why" is simply not a valid scientific question. "How" is the only relevant term.

Secondly, this is a philosophy article. Philosophy is not a science, to explain a brain. We don't fully understand quantum physics, would you ask a philosopher about that?

And finally: insulting another person, because they question your belief. Awesome behavior. Do you want to assemble a mob next to burn me at the stake?

Literally try Google. I'm not here to educate you.

Bye!
