About consciousness. (In my view, consciousness is not an all-or-nothing, yes/no thing.)

Degrees!! Thank goodness! I have to believe that the asshole in front of me in the Suburban Assault Vehicle with all the pro-christian, pro-hate, bumper stickers, being a total tool, just doesn't know any better. (Then I have to have the consciousness not to teach them with a bat at the next stop light)....
No, no, we must accept their point of view as just as valid, and all that entails, such as subjugation of people not as pious as those running the show would like them to be.
I agree. There are degrees of it.
Right now, my level of consciousness matches that of a dung beetle.
Will this result in an end of the she/he god argument?
No, it will just lead to an argument about whether the universe is male or female.
@Coffeo ah yes "women from Venus" - an acid riddled planet. Very appropriate but not representative of the universe.
@FrayedBear Neither is Earth, probably.
Ok... I just call it as I see it. Ain't nothing but a thing.
