    yeah, that’s my point. what even is consciousness? what’s the difference between the electrochemical signals in your brain and plausible future tech that can run those same signals inside transistors instead of meat?

    how can we be sure it’s not you when it responds and acts exactly like you if installed inside your meat body?

      Sure, but then again, what are you going to do with the poor chair 😅, maybe it’s consciousness isn’t linked the same as ours (we have access to memory for example).

      So it’s just there, feeling, experiencing. But then again, feeling and experiencing what?

      It sure is interesting, and so wildly complicated too.
