I think there are more easily accessible examples that investigate this problem closer. Are animals conscious? How about children? How about very slow people?
- awb 7y agoOr better: when does an embryo become conscious?
- dilap 7y agoSo me it seems intuitively obvious that the answers are yes, yes, and yes. Even ants seem to have some sort of consciousness to me. But of course it's completely unknowable. Maybe every other single creature on earth is just an unfeeling automaton, and only I feel. But I doubt it. ;-)
