  • The topic we're going to focus on, what is it to be conscious?

  • So what is it to be conscious?

  • That's the question.

  • What is it for anything that's conscious, to be conscious, we need a clear question.

  • To start with, though, we need an adequate clarification, an initial clarification of what we're on about.

  • Philosophers don't have that.

  • Scientists certainly don't have that.

  • That's why they all disagree madly.

  • We can do better.
