OK.
and that is functionally observable.
It is not. Leibniz already understood this. You evacuate the mind-body problem. No 3p
observation can detect consciousness. It is pure 1p. We can detect evidences that some
entities behave as if they were conscious, but materialists would not been tempted to
eliminate it if it was observable.
"That" refers to intelligence. Which I think is observable. I think my dogs are
conscious because of their intelligent behavior.
