When you use the word "truth" do you mean reality?

Consciousness requires memory; self-consciousness requires an internal representation of self. It is not clear that the experiential aspect of being requires any of that; it is possible that everything feels pain, but pain at the prospect of death, a dissociation from the Truth.

Maybe you are right, but if you are honest with yourself you have to admit that you are speaking from pure ignorance. You have no idea if I am conscious; you just think I am because I act like it. We observe ourselves in relation to our consciousness and compare that to others and that is how we draw our conclusions. This is an experiment. The only problem with it is that it is not a very good experiment and as a result it doesn't suggest very good explanations. Before you give your take on consciousness more credence than it deserves perhaps you should look into the more thorough investigations of our brains, minds and consciousness.
