Consciousness

Suppose I came to you with an offer you to invest in a time travel machine. You ask how my time machine works and I unroll a diagram of a billion gears that are intricately connected. I tell you that all you need to do is set the dial to the date you want and turn the crank and you can travel to any point in time you wish. You then asked me how a bunch of spinning gears can cause time travel and I tell you it is not the spinning gears themselves but the interaction and pattern of a billion gears. Would you invest in my machine? This is the reason I do not buy the materialistic explanation for consciousness.
