No

yes

Agreed if we accept the definition dream weaver provided from him, but I don't think that's the same definition OP was using

Yes clearly, but more what I mean is.. We had an established concept of consciousness, and the one I was referring to was the one severinian was as well

I disagree with you. Our minds are too unreliable to just say and make true, all things must be proven

I don't think this definition aligns with what OP was implying consciousness is. This is meta thinking, and it is scientifically proven.

Is it? Define consciousness

@dream_weaver I'm not sure what you mean. In order to prove consciousness, you must first believe it to exist?

How do we know it's real if you don't have a scientific explanation? I'll make a comparison to.. intelligence. We can predict intelligence using IQ, but it is not one definable thing. If you want my personal diagnostic, intelligence is the group effort of many different function occurring in our brain systems, but as always, that's debatable. Maybe consciousness makes sense, it can accurately explain physical events and actions, but it is not proven. Doesn't this remind you of god? God says he made plants, animals, and humans. and wow, it's true! around us, we see plants, animals, and humans, so God must have made these things? see, it explains easily why these things exist, but because there is no proof, it is not true
