My blog about philosophy, coding, and anything else that interests me.

This mirrored tweet of mine may be formatted slightly differently than on Twitter.

This is an older tweet. I don’t necessarily endorse it anymore.

This cat does not recognize itself in the mirror but sees another cat.

And yet, I don’t think those who consider self-recognition evidence of consciousness would say this cat isn’t conscious.

So should self-recognition even make a difference to them?
