I was going to say this as well. To say the human brain is a statistical machine is infinitely reductionistic being that we don't really know what the human brain is. We don't truly understand what consciousness is or how/where it exists. So even if we understand 99.99~ percent of the ohaycial brain, not understanding that last tiny fraction of it that is core consciousness means what we think we know about it can be up ended by the last little (arguably the largest though) bit. It's similar to saying you understand the inner working and intricacies of the life and society of new York city because you memorized the phone book.

Not an expert but Sam Harris says consciousness does not exist

I enjoy eastern philosophy but I'm not a fan of Harris. Why would he charge so much if he truly believes in reducing suffering?

Maybe he wants to reduce his suffering.

To the contrary. Sam Harris often describes consciousness as an indisputable fact we all experience. Perhaps you got it confused with free will.

This is my point. He said, they said, studies show, but we really have no idea. There's evidence for the fact that Co consciousness isn't even something we posses so much as a universal field we tap into similar to a radio picking up channels. That the super bowl is experienced by your television, but isn't actually contained within it.

Well if Sam Harris says it.
