Alex,

I asked you a very simple, straightforward question: do you think you are conscious or not?

If you think we need to define consciousness before you can answer that one, then I can safely assume that you are not conscious, even though I can't explain you why.

I'm actually starting to suspect that there are people who are not self-conscious. It's a scary idea but one that explains a lot of things, atheism included. I hope you can prove me wrong, I'm disgusted by that hypothesis as much as anyone else, yet logic forces me not to abandon it.
