The attribution of consciousness to inanimate objects is misleading, ...-I think the attribution of consciousness to a sloppy mass of carbohydrates, proteins and electrolytes is also misleading. This I think is the whole point of Susan Blackmore questioning her own consciousness. -Everything has consciousness and nothing is conscious are two sides of the same coin.-If we don't believe in a dualistic mind, then we have to accept that what we perceive as conscious is actually a historical account, whether the history be measured in seconds or picoseconds.-if we are willing to argue for a dualistic mind, then I eagerly await the evidence for such a concept.
