You talk about consciousness so abstractly... but you only know human consciousness... and you are projecting HUMAN consciousness onto everything else... tis silly. Human consciousness is very much tied to the human being experience... and we can also correlate human consciousness to electrical signals which are abscent in most matter around us (but is there in plants...) if we wanna take an actual scientific crack at it.<br>Can't take a philosopher seriously if they are blinded by their own human bias when we are so many decades past the concept of alien visitors etc
