Caring about conscious minds where you can't observe them existing carries basically the same philosophical problems as caring about pretty statues (and other otherwise desirable or undesirable arrangements of matter) where you can't observe them.
Agree or disagree?
Agree, but disagree with the assertion that you can't observe them. (If that's not an assertion, then whatever.)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
