I love the first quote
“Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.”
I had never seen it like that but it does make a lot of sense when you think about it. I think however that we have to look at things more on the humble side: for us to fully grasp the full meaning of what consciousness and sentience are is like having an ant try to explain a 747.

There is a similar metaphor in Stan Grof’s “Beyond the Brain” which has resonated with me for years.
