Consciousness is a specific biological adaptation which is primarily focused in the management of social relationships, status, and the prolonged adolescence of children. (and their required care)
There's no reason to think that consciousness is an important question in the objective sense; it just matters to people. (and rightfully so) People wondering about consciousness in the universe might be akin to dogs wondering what the big bang smelled like.

- woopsn 1y agoWhat is an important question in the objective sense? Is life, or no because that just matter to life? It seems oxymoronic, "objective question", "objectively important". I don't follow GP's sort of solipsist (?) take, but would say question of whether big bang took place in a black hole is pointless compared to life/experience and how they arise.
- hshshshshsh 1y agoSolipsism is the question whether it's all made up by my mind and only my mind exists. I am not interested in that. I am interested in the thing in which all the made up stuff appears. And the thoughts and mind appears. Even I appear in that.
