trying to snare the concept of consciousness in a definition that brings it inside the rational and empirical is a favorite pastime of the overweening and is in every case completely analogous to the drunk looking for his keys under the lamppost because the light's better there

Seriously, 'consciousness' discourse started because a bunch of theologians feared the implications of the emerging sciences. And descartes just squared the circle.

Catholic propaganda aside, at the end of the day i still have an experiential point of view, which rationally and empirically makes *zero* sense, and y'all zombies mostly claim to also have one and there's some chance you aren't lying, so something the fuck is going on
