> One moment I was perfectly awake, and the next moment I was hearing the sounds of people talking around me and I groggily became aware of my doctor getting me to acknowledge him.
Yep. I remember the nurse telling me to count backwards from 10 and I remember being a bit annoyed by it but still doing it. I don't know what number I got knocked out on. I don't even remember getting knocked out. The only thing I remember is hearing voices as I slowly woke up. No memory of anything in between.

No. Computers, machinese, animals, plants can display "intelligent" behavior. They have no consciousness.
- confidantlake 3y agoI agree with most of what you said, but most animals absolutely have consciousness.
