I assume you mean phenomenal consciousness or qualia, as opposed to the mental state of wakefulness, the opposite of unconsciousness. Specifically, how would humans behave differently if we lacked qualia? How do you test whether a person has qualia or is a philosophical zombie? I mean, you can't just ask them because a zombie would claim to be conscious. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
