Conversely, if non-biological consciousness would somehow, someday, prove impossible, then consciousness would have to embed some nonphysical aspect. But how would we ever know?

Each and every show along with your guest should be required to give a definition of what consciousness is.

The experiencing self is the observer of the objects, and it's therefore distinct from them. In other words, objects are not what the experiencing observer is, but what he's conscious of.

Carlo Rovelli warns against confusing a process with an entity. We should not refer to consciousness in the third person.

Consciousness, one of the biggest baffles for the physical! But, one of the best leads.
