Could you use hypnosis to test the consciousness/intelligence question ? If the results show lower or higher intelligence goes under easier that could have some weight perhaps . Interestingly I think it would probably be just above or below the average that would be the hardest to put under . I can't completely articulate the reasoning but I have a feeling it would be due to how the brain itself reacts with certain commonalities shared by the high and low ends that the average would have more balanced 🤔
