A comment on Decades-long bet on consciousness ends – it’s philosopher 1, neuroscientist 0. Parent comment
Consciousness is a comparison of current sense input with memory.
No sense input, no consciousness. No memory, no consciousness.
A rock, can have a memory (its chips and wear), but no consciousness since it has no sense input.
Self Consciousness is therefore a comparison of the input of our senses with the memory of our Self.
