- anonzzzies 3y agoEmergent can be the first step; something emerges. Then you have to explain why/how. Emergent alone is never enough but it’s the first step. Consciousness is emergent until we explain how it comes to be and then it’s just an understood process.

- mensetmanusman 3y agoI'm just referencing the existing debates on the topic. It doesn't appear we are at a stage to prove or disprove subjective experience. One hint we will know our understanding is solved is when others can enter the plane of our mind and add or subject imaginative objects.
