Sorry I never responded to this. I think I agree with most of your sentiment. I have not been on Nostr a whole lot.
I think North’s argument on value and this idea of consciousness as being like value, hinges upon the idea that consciousness is fundamental and value is an emergent property of consciousness being real-ized, maybe even just two sides of the same coin. In other words, consciousness is only “real-ized” when value is expressed and value is only “real-ized” when consciousness is expressed. I see them existing as interdependently. I think this framework should make us reassess our assumptions on how we evaluate what is and isn’t conscious. I tend to think consciousness must be ubiquitous with existence, but our failure to recognize it is due to the particular type of consciousness we as humans beings have. I’m a big fan of Stephen Wolfram’s take on this.
