I'm still baffled about the concept of consciousness still being used in the sciences. It's such an ill defined concept that makes me think that one of three possibilities exist: - consciousness is the wrong concept - anything that has some degree of self-reference is conscious. - there is no consciousness, just computation. I'm erring on the side of it being just plain wrong or uninteresting. I don't believe that there's anything supernatural about it, it must be a result of computation, but for some reason we ascribe a special status to it.
