It’s the only one that I can think of that might actually matter from an ethical point of view as ai approaches the appearance what could be considered consciousness. What else are you thinking about that relates?

There are certainly more ethical implications to the science of consciousness than there are to other sciences, but I feel like that’s a different discussion

Yes, but that’s the only reason it really matters at all. It’s inherently unprovable and unknowable so there nothing to do any science on. It’s philosophy or meta physics, which is great, but cannot be definitive.
