Is Our Identity Defined By Our Intention?

There is one but. Human consciousness can only at a primitive level determine cause-and-effect relationships. The Matrix with its prophetic postulates involuntarily comes to mind. Can we feel the intentions of others, for example, did Julius Caesar feel? Or not? and there are many such examples. Thought processes are of a more complex nature, as are our actions and inactions and, of course, responsibility for all these matters.

I agree with your point. However I feel that, consciousness is not a process that occurs in the brain; rather, it is a type of behavior that is regulated by the brain in the same way that any other behavior is. Thanks for stopping by.

Neither one nor the other. Imagine yourself playing a dashing game in a virtual world, where is consciousness? There in the game? Or somewhere else?)
