If we already know it’s possible for our consciousnesses to control robots, then what are the odds that our consciousnesses emerge from within our own biomechanical bodies in the first place? Couldn’t we assume it’s more likely that our own bodies are being controlled by consciousnesses that exist externally to ourselves?
We’re probably not too far away from a future, right here on Earth, where the vehicles we drive and the video games we play are directly controlled by our consciousnesses via electrical voltages. That being the case, any given human consciousness will one day operate countless other forms. Any given form is unlikely to be the organic source of the consciousness controlling it.
So how do we know we aren’t simply being operated by an external consciousness? Isn’t that more likely, in some sense?
