Your mind is surely at least 90% unconscious, most of the time.
Identifying with your conscious mind seems to be a terrible mistake to me. There is so much more to you than that.
A collection of my brain and 9 brain-sized blobs of empty space scattered throughout the universe is 90% empty space, that's not an argument for identifying with empty space, or a sign that there is so much more to me than my brain.
Sure - I never made any such argument.
Your unconscious mind receives your sensory input and affects your actions - whereas empty space does not.
I am heartened to see this good comment of yours upvoted, and that people have not been poisoned by the silliness (IMO) of your immediately preceding comments (one must agree they express a view unpopular around here, insofar as they are downvoted) against other comments of yours.
I like LW.
