Good! I'm glad to hear an answer like this.
So does that mean that, in your view, a drug that removes consciousness must necessarily be a drug that impairs the ability to process information?
Yes. Really to be completely unconscious you'd have to be dead. But I do acknowledge that this is degrees on a spectrum, and probably the closest drug to what you want is whatever they use in general anesthesia.
I think my opinion is the same as yours, but I'm curious about whether anybody else has different answers.
