What Is the Quality of Consciousness?
Many people treat these problems separately, although I think that's ultimately an incoherent way to approach the problem. The hard problem is focusing on what it is. So the quality, it feels like something to experience a thing, that's what consciousness is. And does is more about the functional usefulness of the thing. Yes. To the whole beautiful mix of cognition and just function in everyday life. Okay. You've also said that you can do very intelligent things without consciousness. Clearly. Is that obvious to you? Yes.I don't know what I'm doing to access my memory. It just comes up. And it comes up really intelligently.
