I am open to the concept of every entity having some measure of consciousness. At least it is internally consistent. As of yet though, if you want to go anything at all beyond "Only I exist", you will have to see that certain organizations of physical systems appear to have consciousness and certain organizations don't. You haven't yet given any definition still of what exactly you think consciousness is, and are trying to act special by thinking your own, probably not well formed, definition is the only right one.

>beyond "Only I exist"

I said no such thing..lol...If you are hanging to this, it is a waste of my time to talk to you.

It is a waste of time to talk to you as you keep refusing to define what you think consciousness is but keep talking as if its a settled matter that you know what is and isn't conscious. So correct, I see no further point in talking.

You are doing the same thing when you say souls don't exist without defining what a "soul" is...lol...

But at least, I gave my definition of consciousness, and at least there is one person who can test for it (oneself).

If the book speaks to you (let's say it's an audio book), and answers your questions as they arise while reading a book, is it conscious?
