I have read some things regarding the behaviour of the human brain and I am somewhat disappointed with all the chemistry and the underlying character it has with our decisions, it is sad but everything seems to indicate that we are biological machines, cause and effect, nothing else, there is no free will. Consciousness or soul is a human construct, we are totally predictable with the enough information.
One of my favourite novel is “Altered Carbon” trilogy, I like it very much because it delves into the concept of the soul and transcending the biological body.
I've already got philosophical, sorry 😅
