Me - Me Baby....,

Well they're correct. In 1957 C.G. Jung wrote these words:

Without concoiusness there would, practically speaking,
be no world, for the world exists as such only in so far as
it is conciously reflected and conciously expressed by a
psyche. *Conciousness is a precondition of being.* Thus
the psyche is endowed with dignity of a cosmic principle,
which philosophically and in fact gives it a position
coequal with the principle of physical being.

The Undiscovered
Self
(Gegenwart und
Zukunft)

Although Jung had some interesting ideas, he could never match his teacher.
Even without consciousness, if you are hit by a comet, you will be physically flat.

That what you cannot see, because you were for example knocked unconscious by
the power of Sammie's postings, may still affect you.

A bit simple put, but with a minimal neuron configuration can be understood I think.
