To discuss the nature of consciousness is waste of time, because
consciousness or mind is not an entity that exists in the real world.
The only thing that exists in the real world is matter. What you can
talk about is consciouslike behaviour, objects that behave as if they
were conscious, objects that claim that they are conscious.

Yes, I simpy deny the separate existence of something called
'consciousness'.
