> How are we to interpret the notion that, say, the color Orange is really just a "trick"? That might not seem important today, now we know what colour is in terms of physics and the only remaining unknown might be how we internally perceive it, but the nature of colour was a real question at one time, and trying to understand it ended up improving our knowledge of physics. Trying to understand consciousness, however pointless you might think the difference between an actual consciousness and one constructed on the fly is, could very well lead to interesting discoveries as well, eventually. It's also interesting to know in itself.
