And yet, it is more familiar and sure to us than anything else :) Ala Descartes, I can doubt that the rock I see exists, that perhaps I am deceived, but I cannot doubt that there is an 'I', some conscious self, that is having that experience.
- raspasov 5y ago"I" can doubt but we can all most likely get many millions of people plus some monkeys and other species to more or less agree that there is a rock with very much the same characteristics. That's a good enough description of the rock in my book. The above definitely does not apply to consciousness.
