what about animals
what about simpler organisms
what about non-organisms
what if you made a robot that acted just like a human, why wouldn't it have a consciousness
are we fundamentally different than a robot when we're just made up of enzymes and electrical impulses in our brain etc?
what if there are several instances of consciousness within ourselves, each one deluded into thinking it has free will, but it's really just acting on emotional impulses etc
