How could we trust our consciousness ?!
#2
RE: How could we trust our consciousness ?!
At work.

It would seem that a creature's self awareness is, in fact, generally a by product of natural processes.

As for 'How can we trust it?'

I am not a solipsist but I have little more than a quip to reply to the 'Brain in a jar' postulate.

Otherwise it is our continued functionality and survival that can be used as a metric for/against the claim.
