It’s easy for me to think there’s magic buried in the hundred billion neurons and hundred trillion synapses in the human brain. But in the case of tardigrades or wasps, it becomes much less obvious where the consciousness would ‘live’ with such limited real estate.
- kaba0 5y agoA wasp is at least an order of magnitude more complex than a tardigrade though (maybe even two orders?), and flying require quite complex intelligence so I would not put some for of consciousness for wasps. Though I would believe that their “brains” are entirely different from mammal brains, because to be honest, some mammals are really really dumb (and for a long time they were believed to be only “biological robots”?).
