“Mere behaviour”. “There is only behaviour” would seem to say that there was no life, that we (or I) acted as automatons, as unconscious machines.
     I wish to say: “The difference between me & a machine doesn't only || just consist in the difference of our actions but in this that I am conscious & the machine isn't”.
     But oughtn't I say that this only distinguishes a machine from me not from a human being? For why shouldn't I say that the difference between a human being, animal, sewing machine, etc., lies in their actions, if I except myself. But then I don't even except my body.
