Is there a simple explanation for why consciousness (as an idea, or something distinct from unconsciousness) is necessary?
I think my wording was poor. I don't mean necessary for things that may exhibit consciousness. I mean why should consciousness even be considered to exist? Why is it a necessary complication to understanding the mind?
