RE: Why I Am Skeptical About the Science of Consciousness
A lot of this went over my head on first reading. I hope I can get round to the points raised in this arguments pesented here because they are interesting.
In a nutshell, the problem is that consciousness is not directly measurable so we have to measure something else, a "proxie" for consciousness. But we don't know how well that proxy actually predicts consciousness. We'd need a second proxy. But that raises the same problem. It can never find a firm foundation.
