QUESTION: How do you know that your experience of consciousness is the same as other people?
ANSWER: We don’t. And, so what?
All we need to know, for day-to-day life is that our experiences are similar enough on some key points.
For a related parallel, think of vision. We can’t know that we each see the same thing, inside our heads, when we look at an object/person/event. We merely need to know that we all have similar equipment for seeing. From that, we can have agreement, to a first approximation, as to the location, size, shape, direction, speed, color, texture, etc., etc.
Of course, there’s variation. Some people have better acuity, some people have diminished or alternate perception of colors, and so on, but we can still all mostly agree, most of the time, that we are looking at the same world and roughly the same parts of that world, and what the important characteristics are.
With that said, we know that perception is easily fooled, attention is easily distracted and misdirected, and eyewitness testimony is some of the least reliable “evidence” for any investigation. Memories are not recordings; they are reconstructions from hints, stories from a few engrams, that we build as a representative narrative of previous events. Any number of things in our environment and our lives and our current internal state can have a tremendous effect on what we “remember” and how we do so.
Think of perception and conscious mind like any other aspect of our evolutionary inheritance. It’s the current state of a long, long, long, long series of “just barely good enough” increments of change.
Nevertheless, we manage to communicate with each other and have built amazing structures, like science, despite the limitations of what we have to work with. We get by.
thank you so much for points, so sweet of you.
