I believe that Dainton makes it clearer that simulated consciousness is not necessary, only a sufficiently complete and consistent perception of consciousness. You or I may now lack qualia, assuming it is necessary for authentic consciousness, but if we are simulants which perceive that we are conscious persons then that simulated perception is sufficient for Bostrom's Argument.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />RBRichard Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366179860157821616noreply@blogger.com
