So wait a minute, you are saying that consciousness is not essentially related to decision in mainstream common language
That is exactly what I am saying if you claim that a rock bouncing or the outcome of a battle are the result of decision. A person making the decision to choose one particular item from a menu is clearly making a
conscious decision, the fact that there are decisions which are
not conscious pretty clearly undercuts your argument. That fact that conscious decisions exist does not mean that all decisions have to be conscious. This is the same sort of lazy thinking as when you claimed that because neutral selection could be considered a part of natural selection it meant that neutral selection was all there was to natural selection. Its about the same level of logic as 'All dogs have four legs, my cat has four legs, therefore my cat is a dog.'
