I find it harder to take scientific journals and news outlets (and scientists) seriously about consciousness.
Today, I'm reading an article about birds having a neocortex that we've missed for years. The writer in Scientific American seems very excited, he even adds: "The new work even suggests that certain birds demonstrate some degree of consciousness.”
Scientific American has really gone down the drain, hasn't it?
