@ESYudkowsky@preinfarction I'm sure my consciousness has impact. Others' must be fallibly inferred. -
Doesn't "others" also include the philosophers of consciousness who came up with that argument? :D

Point being, if those philosophers fallibly did not get their idea from real consciousness, is it bad philosophy?
-
Likely. Or sheer contrarianism.
