Consciousness Can't Trigger Actions?

I believe the article had some solid work,  (https://www.chess.com/article/view/why-chess-players-blunder ) yet it's also replete with blunders regarding the nature of consciousness. Consider how few bits of data are said to go into consciousness; "it has been known that from all the information flooding through our sense organs (1,121,000 bits), only a fraction (1-16 bits) makes up a conscious experience". In assembler language with binary data 1-16 bits is what-like 4 words? That is a trivial amount of data. A chessboard alone has far more information than that.

Amateurs make some blunders for the obvious lack of seeing the whole board rather than a small area where the action seems to be happening. General Gordon nearly flanked Grant's Army of the Potomac battle with Lee in the 2nd Wilderness campaign because the Union was focused on the front line where the action was.

There are many theories of consciousness, yet it is wrong to regard it as entirely separate from the subconscious. Without the subconscious and a healthy brain the conscious obviously wouldn't exist. It is better to compare consciousness to a computer where some things are being used and appear on the video display while other data is just in memory. If one cannot remember something sometime, such as a name, with some practice it is possible to let the subconscious mull it over and the answer will pop up into thought eventually

There are scientific atheists that want to degrade consciousness down to being an appendage of nature that is phenomenal and worthy of dismissal regarding macro-political decisions. That followed from B.F. Skinner's behaviorist work. I disagree with numerous parameters of the paradigm, although there are some innate behavioral characteristics of being human such as the appearance of thirst. It would be convenient if elites could disregard the conscious will of the citizens as meaningless in order to screw them in harmony with the will of concentrated wealth and power. Even mega-corporations have an element of a commune about them in their collective subconscious.

“Since consciousness cannot trigger actions, we cannot inadvertently, unintentionally, un-purposefully or un-deliberately commit actions or play moves we “didn’t mean to.””-Vik-Hansen https://www.chess.com/article/view/why-chess-players-blunder

That seems like the most pure bunk imaginable. One virtually cannot move without conscious thought and will to act. Spend some time in a wilderness where your own body is the sole transport, and test the theory.
