It's clear, for example, that a toaster doesn't have any conscious experiences So anthropic. We can agree that it is on the opposite end of a spectrum though.

It's clear, for example, that a toaster doesn't have any conscious experiences So anthropic. We can agree that it is on the opposite end of a spectrum though. A spectrum that we define out of a single point (“us”, and mostly “I”). We can also say that a toaster is a part of your consciousness instead, like e.g. your arm but less noisy. But then you are a part of a dog’s consciousness as well. Consciousness is probably best described as just a field in a complexity space, not a discrete set of localized phenomenons. It has a near-zero value in a physical projection of a toaster’s concept, but is that projection even useful?
