- mach1ne 5y agoAnd incidentially the field has a huge problem with pseudoscience, with studies that are not replicable, lying with statistics, theories which aren't falsifiable... The problem with consciousness is that the only evidence it exists is that individuals claim to experience it, without even really defining what it is they experience. This "evidence" has a much simpler explanation than the existence of an almost-magical consciousness. It's not that there can't be something like consciousness, but there is currently nothing to indicate this.
