One big issue that makes this difficult is that we have no understanding of how it's possible for physical matter to possess consciousness. Absolutely none, just lots of conjecture with no evidence or well-developed theory to support it.
If you have a non-complicated answer to all this, you will be world-famous for solving the hard problem of consciousness (https://consc.net/papers/facing.html https://consc.net/papers/facing.html).
- guerrilla 3y agoI don't need to answer any of those questions to state what I did as facts. They aren't grounded in the same evidence.
- antonvs 3y agoOk, but in that case what you wrote has no relevance to the questions asked in the comment you responded to: "What is consciousness? ... Why do we feel that we exist? Who does the feeling part?" All you're talking about is its role, and making an unsupported assertion about it at that.
