The Importance of Consciousness Hierarchies

When we set up these consciousness hierarchies, we have to understand the criteria that we're using and what theories in the philosophy of mind we might be bringing into it. If a human being had a degraded conscious experience because of brain damage or whatever else, can we eat them at that point? Why do some philosophers claim that panpsychism may be the most likely answer to the hard problem of consciousness? And how might society be radically altered if we all decided one day that that's what we wanted to build our societies around? That's at least how next episode will begin.
