Well, you do believe in consciousness as you agree with "comp1", like John Clark, and
others.
Comp1 involves the notion of consciousness, by assuming it invariant for some digital
substitution.
But only a physical digital device - not just abstract digital substitution.
In thinking about the question of whether playback of a recording would instantiate
consciousness, I'm led to wonder whether the ability of neurons to grow and to instantiate
learning is necessary to consciousness? It's necessary for humans to learn and that
includes learning new memories, which we consider essential to personal identity.
