“fundamentally an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism—something it is like for the organism.”

“When men achieve the fruits of their material success, they often become aware of an emptiness—an incompleteness—in their lives; the hollowness of having, but not raising, children, of not making true commitments to them. Which, sadly, does not mean that they weren’t capable of it.”
—Willard Gaylin (20th century)
