From a very short interaction with my desk I’ve concluded it doesn’t have subjective experience. After a few years of interacting with my dog, I’m still on the fence on if it has subjective experience.
I read you as suggesting something like “subjective experience seems to have behavioral consequences because interaction with something leads me to have beliefs about whether it has subjective experience”. But I think when I reach such conclusions, I’m mostly going off priors that I got socially. Is it different for you?
I’ve defs got socially formed priors on what things do and don’t have experience. And when I try and move past those priors and or think “we’ll these priors came from somewhere, what were they originally tapping into?” I see that anyone making a judgement about this is doing so through what they could observe.
