I do not believe in duality. That is, I believe that consciousness is a result of/a component in the physical universe and not a separate entity governed by its own laws.

I believe, "I made this choice because I wanted to," and, "I made this choice because the probability clouds of every single particle of matter in existence since the beginning of the universe happened to collapse in a way that culminated in my brain synapses firing in a particular pattern," to be identical statements, equally true.

I believe it's entirely reasonable to consider "humanity" as a single entity with its own consciousness, though consciousness that is unrecognizable to us.
