Well, do I have to be self aware to perceive? Don't people experience ego loss on psychedelics, in which they have no sense of self and are still conscious. Do I have to know I'm perceiving in order to perceive.
The cell phone being would have experience in the structure formed by the specific numbers in each phone, and senses could be mimicked by artificially "stimulating" the people who represent the neurons that receive information from the sense organs.
Why does conscious perception depend on sense of self. Isn't the sense of self a perception like any other. We have never been without it so we can't imagine perception without it. Maybe.
Sorry, I'm sick and I'm just trying to keep myself entertained with all these posts.
