>>49263810>why are we the only beings on this planet/galaxy/universe that has one?I've seen other animals do relatively complex problem solving so I'm not convinced they don't have consciousness, let's just say dolphin, octopus, crow, and most great apes are off the menu for me.
Book recommendation by the way, "Blindsight", it's a scifi novel that explores aliens who are more intelligent than humans that are capable of interstellar travel but possess no consciousness.
