N2 - Our sense that we do something deliberately may be an
afterthought that arises after our brains have already triggered our action
unconsciously. Consciousness itself may be a similar illusory afterthought,
with no direct causal role. In any case, Methodological epiphenomenalism,
together with the Turing Test, seem to be be the best strategy for cognitive
modelling.
