- barrkel 9y agoIs that a distinction with a difference? What I mean is: unless you have some privileged information about where consciousness and qualia come from, how can you tell whether or not measurement machinery perceive qualia? (I've thought about this for a long time myself, and I don't know where to draw the line, so I drew it differently: everything is "conscious"; i.e. panpsychism.)
- red75prime 9y agoWhen a system contains its own representation which describes the system as the intellectual agent pursuing some goals and feeling some feels. Otherwise all the agency and supposed consciousness comes from outside of the system (e.g. from out empathy) and is not an inherent part of the system.
