"Consciousness" is confused and needs rescuing (https://arbital.com/p/rescue_utility/ …), but not that much rescuing.

I see. Why cant it be written off as an illusion, like martian canals were last century? Why rescue?

@theartlav@ESYudkowsky@robinhanson Without consciousness, there can be no illusion!#Descartes -
or is this another "genuine illusion = consciousness + misleading appearance" things where definitions get mangled?

@geekethics Of course. You understand me perfectly. -
If I understood I'd know why you think consciousness is connected to quite unrelated skills, as it is I just guess.
