Take a look at Daniel Dennett, for starters!
If you're looking for one of the genuine angles on this:
Consciousness is horrendously under-defined, to the point some people go something like "you know, at this point I figure we'd be better off not having this word at all. "
Some days that's me, with a headache.
- in-silico 6mo agoSo it's more of a semantic argument than an actual rejection of the idea that you experience qualia/sentience/something?
- joquarky 6mo agoWhat exactly is the "you" in your sentence?
- Kim_Bruning 6mo agoYou'd have to define those terms operationally first, somehow, before I could give you an honest reply. Most people can't -and those who do disagree- which suggests something structural. [It can be done. But it'll be dirty]
- reverius42 6mo agoDennett's whole thing is the rejection of qualia. See https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~drkelly/DennettQuiningQualia1988.pdf https://web.ics.purdue.edu/~drkelly/DennettQuiningQualia1988...
