Do you think conscience is like a switch that is ON for certain organism if they are complex enough or OFF if they aren't? OR do you think is a continous state, in which you reach an increasingly higher conscience the more complex you are as an organism? And, if it's a switch-like thing, where is the separation between ON and OFF?

@alma_de_cantaro I think I can’t answer that one. I’m pretty sure bacteria are not conscious, and birds are conscious, but what’s in between? I don’t know. I guess I would say it’s a gradient of something, but only at a certain threshold you can call it consciousness.
