I am not conscious. Prove me wrong.

• dwaltrip 7y ago
  If you are human, you are conscious. Consciousness is to humans in the same way breathing is to humans. There are many other arguments that I'm sure you are aware of. If all of these aren't enough for you, well then, I would direct you towards exploring solipsism.

    I don't see the relevance of solipsism here. I'm taking essentially the opposite position: I am not conscious. You seem to think I am conscious. How can you tell the difference?

      If you genuinely don't think you are conscious, then I have nothing to say. If you are making a roundabout point of how we can't know if other people are conscious, then my argument about solipsism stands.

        He's saying that personal assertions are not a good basis for believing that a person is concious. He's saying it in a sarcastic way.

          I wasn't basing anything on personal assertions. I guess we were arguing past each other.
