AS IF
It seems we ‘evolved’ a big
brain so we could delude ourselves that we are conscious. But, if we weren’t
conscious in the first place, the delusion would be wasted on us. And if we
were not, and are not, conscious, what the hell would it matter?
The logic is not merely flawed,
it’s non-existent.
Why would Dawkins’s ‘lumbering
robots’ need all his beloved science, and why would he need to pontificate or
write books if there was no one on the receiving end?
Why have paintings, sculpture,
radio, television, theatre or clog-dancing if no one is conscious of any of it?
– and why keep harping on about evolution and brains and psycho-rot and big
bangs and god particles if there is no one to convince?
If we were not conscious, it
wouldn’t matter what we were not conscious of. Even if Dawkins’s little genes
are mysteriously endowed with the consciousness and self-will denied to us, why
would we need to be consulted, never mind deluded?
The whole rigmarole is not a rational attempt to
understand, but a cockamamie construct designed to actively rob the human race
of its individuality, free-will and potential.
