Of course there is no evidence available to you that anything is special about my consciousness. And vice versa.
Are you a solipsist or not? If you don't believe in the consciousness of other beings, I can hardly argue with that on rational grounds, but you can't disbelieve in your own consciousness.
- mikekchar 6y agoI think the point is not that you disbelieve in your own consciousness but rather that you misinterpret what it is. It must exist: cognito, ergo sum, but this does not imply that you understand its nature.
- loopz 6y agoExactly, it's a mystery. It's also basis for humanism, since if nobody has consciousness, there's no reason to keep humans around. So it is existential, untestable and unprovable.
