I would say not interviewing people from psychology and religion may be a weak point in your, admittedly informal research. I wouldn’t be able to speak of consciousness without speaking of how we see ourselves through one another, and in fact without that we enter ill health. The very basis of most contemporary psychology is how humans maintain health via healthy relationships, therapy is an unfortunate replacement for a lack of original healthy relationships. If this is required for human minds to thrive, it must be essential...because I’m not STEM or Rational mostly, I refer to this as love and consider it essential to humanness...the ignoring of this so obvious thing is, what I consider to be one of the main deficits of rat culture. And if it continues to be ignored as consciousness work weaves its way into AI alignment I think it will be detrimental.
