I thought I've understood what is awareness for you, and I liked this perspective. But, holy dung, you tell me that for you consciousness and awareness are interchangeable!

I'm disappointed because for me consciousness is more on the culture, intelligence and experience side. And I liked that awareness could be defined more on the emotional/animal side. Definitely, a special article on the subject would be great !)

And when you talk about the emergence of consciousness do you mean like the bicameral chamber theory of consciousness?
