When is one considered conscious? Is there a way to measure consciousness? Is consciousness a a faculty for information processing, like software running on hardware? If yes then what about AI? Once AI achieves consciousness, will it have rights? Will AI be criminally liable for the decisions it takes? Or is consciousness fundamental and irreducible, possibly existing beyond physical matter like a feature of reality.Does consciousness include human instincts like survival, legacy and spirituality? The nature of consciousness is one of the biggest mysteries in philosophy, neuroscience, and cognitive science.#Philosophy #VinodNair #Conversations #PersonalGrowth #MentalHealth #Success #SocraticSatsang #Leadership #Socrates #Satsang #EasternPhilosophy #WesternPhilosophy #Stoicism #Hinduism #Existentialism #Metaphysics #Consciousness #PhilosophyPodcast  #Neurodivergence #Autism #livingwithautism #Veterans #Motivation #cancer #love
