> I for one would feel disgusted with myself if I were to discover that I'm nothing more than the output of a reward function. YMMV.

Very interesting and heavy statement to say in this context.

(I think your comment should be upvoted just to bring this honest description of how feelings and self-image interact with our thinking)

Why be disgusted over something that honestly seems pretty obvious. (unless there are delusions in my logic)?

What else could there be other than particles interacting with each other?

And if there are particles interacting with each other how could it be anything else than a reward system? What is the alternative?

Even if there was something non physical like a soul what leads decision making for that soul?
