fossilesqueScientists push new paradigm of animal consciousness, saying even insects may be sentient
ShittyBeatlesFCPresI’ve always thought of consciousness as a bottom-up phenomenon. Less conscious things come together to create a larger consciousness.
No evidence of that, obviously. But if we’re all assuming things, that’s what I’d assume.
I like the idea. If we ever figure out what consciousness actually is, maybe we’ll figure out how it adds up across its components.
