“All animals are conscious”: Shifting the null hypothesis in consciousness science - by Kristin Andrews

"Knowing how other animals are conscious can illuminate what matters to them, which is a key premise in any argument purporting to conclude that this is the right way to treat an animal."

Abstract: The marker approach is taken as best practice for answering the distribution question: Which animals are conscious? However, the methodology can be used to increase confidence in animals many presume to be unconscious, including C. elegans, leading to a trilemma: accept the worms as conscious; reject the specific markers; or reject the marker methodology for answering the distribution question. I defend the third option and argue that answering the distribution question requires a secure theory of consciousness. Accepting the hypothesis all animals are conscious will promote research leading to secure theory, which is needed to create reliable consciousness tests for animals and AIs. Rather than asking the distribution question, we should shift to the dimensions question: How are animals conscious?

Dr. Michael Levin on Sentientism episode 199: “I don’t think understanding these things better and understanding how they scale up reduces the importance or the majesty of the obvious sentience of living beings… it helps us to understand what we are and what our potential is and what we need to do.” Links to our full conversation in below 👇 Don’t forget to subscribe.
