Ok, so you do think having a body is neccessary for consciousness, which is not what you just said. Besides, I wasn't saying that that is the way it is, just that that is what the original poster believes. In his scenario the thing is blind, but it uses it's imagination to see. I don't believe his or her theory anyway. I was just trying to clear it up.
You raise the question of how this thing would be conscious. How are we conscious?
