Unless you believe everything is conscious (panpsychism), this seems like you're just drawing arbitrary lines around things you personally believe could be conscious. Is a rock conscious? If stockfish could be conscious, so could a rock.


Can you define a clear boundary for me somewhere between a rock and a human brain at which consciousness is definitely not possible on one side of the boundary, but is maybe possible on the other side of the boundary?


I can't, can you?
