Do you also believe it's a delusion to think a person with a different skin color or sex than you - even if they behave very intelligently - is conscious? If not why not? *> Searle's Chinese Room argument still does apply here, as anyone should > clearly be able to see.* > Searle should be embarrassed for proposing a thought exparament that was as easy to poke logical holes in as the Chinese Room. And the only reason Searle isn't embarrassed is because you are the only one who experiences qualia, you are the only conscious being in the universe. If certain assumptions regarding a linkage between qualia and behavior are not made no other conclusion is possible.
