Thanks for writing this post.
You mention that:
only conscious beings will ask themselves why they are conscious
But at the same time you support epiphenomenalism whereby consciousness has no effect on reality.
This seems like a contradiction. Why would only conscious things discuss consciousness if consciousness has no effect on reality?
Also, what do you think about Eliezer’s Zombies post? https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/7DmA3yWwa6AT5jFXt/zombies-redacted
