The only way you can tell whether something is worth evaluating or not is to evaluate it.
Once we understand consciousness, then we can determine whether the whole endeavour was a waste of time or not.

I wonder how linked consciousness and free will are.
I'm thinking that if free will is an illusion then so is consciousness.
