“Our theory is that consciousness developed as a memory system that is used by our unconscious brain to help us flexibly and creatively imagine the future and plan accordingly,” said author Dr. Andrew Budson. “We don’t perceive the world, make decisions, or perform actions directly. Instead, we do all these things unconsciously and then—about half a second later—consciously remember doing them.”

That is mind blowing. "You" may be not the one who's in charge. The unconscious "you" does everything automatically and "you" takes the credit as the agent.

I first heard about this theory from Blindsight by Peter Watts. It was a really interesting idea.
