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.
