Your laptop as feedback circuits. It is not 'aware that it is aware', because the underlying current of the discussion is true consciousness. As I've just stated in a recent post, my dog is very bright as a dog, he is conscoius and aware of things he wants to do and things he must do, but he is not aware that he is aware.-David are you suggesting the human mind does not have feedback circuits?-I agree whole heartedly that the circuitry of the human brain is far more complex than a laptop and that the human brain is far more capable of data recognition and manipulation than my laptop or even you dog. So are you suggesting that for consciousness there is a critical complexity below which consciousness cannot exist. -some food for thought:
