Why do you need a consciousness detector/test at all to study the nature of consciousness and develop a falsifiable theory that explains its origins, properties, and the conditions under which it can exist?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 8y agoIf you have a theory about the conditions under which consciousness can exist, you will need to test it. How will you test that theory if you cannot tell what is and isn't conscious in the first place? Let's say my theory says that rocks are conscious and hippos are not. Without some means of detecting consciousness this theory is untestable.
