The animal world presents varying degree of consciousness from worms to humans. That's apparently evidence that consciousness is a spectrum.

- 3g4o53g4o5 4y agoNo need because some one just said that consciousness is not a thing that can be measured, HA HA.
- denton-scratch 4y agoHow can the state of consciousness of a worm be evidence for anything, if you can't observe the worm's state of consciousness?
- 3g4o53g4o5 4y agoFirst prove that you have consciousness, then we can talk.
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoYou can infer worm's state of consciousness by observing its behavior, like for humans.
- denton-scratch 4y agoBy observing it's behaviour you can infer that in some sense it experiences the world. Experiencing events isn't the same as being conscious. If I strike a cricket ball, it experiences the blow; but it isn't conscious.
- GoblinSlayer 4y agoIt's how we establish existence of consciousness in humans and other animals. What you said doesn't differentiate between worms and humans.
