1. Explain the virtual simulation theory of consciousness.
Virtual simulation of consciousness is pretty much a simulated virtual world that our brains/minds have created caused by experiences we have had. Our conscious wants us to believe things. Like in the film, "The Disneyland of consciousness" they thought the pirates in the ride pirates of the Caribbean we starring at them, and the lady in the crystal ball was real in the ride the haunted mansion. Our brains see the world and our experiences different than the way we see it.
2. How does the brain trick us and for what benefit is it our genetic survival?
The brain tricks us in believing things that are illusions are real, when in reality they aren't. simulation is a prediction. humans can simulate pretty much any situation they come across, it helps determine the consequence of that action. however, animal's brains are not capable of doing so. this helps with genetic survival because it helps prevent us from life-threatening situations. The brain controls everything, it can trick us into believing anything.
