For instance? About consciousness?

Wow... I am not so sure I have a clear one.
I consider the possibility that mind emerges from matter
activity. I think that modern physics and the synthetic
theory of evolution provide a resonable (though partial)
account for the "technical" capabilities of the human
mind. What remains unclear to me is "consciousness".
The simplest explanation is that this is just the way
things appear to human organisms but I still find that
a bit short. Does Comp have more to say on this issue?
