Consciousness: Experiences
built 657 days ago
Similarity arguments for animal consciousness ... have roots in common sense observations. But they may also be bolstered by scientific investigations of behavior and neurology as well as considerations of evolutionary continuity (homology) between species. Nagel's own confidence in the existence of phenomenally conscious bat experiences is based on nothing more than this kind of reliance on shared mammalian traits (Nagel 1974).

Any adequate theory of consciousness must account for the entire set of such contrasts between matched conscious and unconscious brain activities, which is a very large set. The topic of conscious experience is therefore highly constrained by evidence.

Discussing this consciousness is just mental acrobatics, because this consciousness is beyond thoughts. It is fully experienced only when thoughts cease, whether unintentionally, as in the above case of watching a landscape, or intentionally when special exercises are performed to enhance it.
