Maybe it makes me weird, but the idea of being determined, but still having to follow those emotional and cognitive tasks to moral conclusions is some kind of “work” we still have to do, to get good outcomes.

That’s still the hole in my theory of consciousness. I admit it ;)

But it doesn’t give me as much cognitive dissonance as others to believe that the process of performing moral actions still has to be “processed” by me, a processor. In some sense.
