Join neuroscientist Anil Seth for a delightfully disorienting talk that may leave you questioning the very nature of your existence.

To understand a persons conscious you must figure them out or just simply know them for themselves. The ethical issue in this could possibly be not allowing this person a chance to express who they truly are.

To know someones consciousness you first have to know the person. some people aren't able to open up to just anyone. People may also not be able to understand or realize everything going on.

I think the practical applications of a science of consciousness might be that you have to fully understand the person to understand their consciousness. So the ethical issues would be allowing that person to tell you those things, you should have their consent to do it.

To understand someone’s consciousness you have to completely understand them and become very personal and people may not be okay with that. You cannot understand fully if you do not have consent from everyone.

The practical applications of a science of consciousness is that it has bodily self, perspectival self, volitional self, narrative self, and social self. The ethical issues we should be careful to consider that it falls apart. In the video I think it says the stuff of consciousness and what it might be and the issues to consider. For example since I know what is consciousness , I still don't know the issues for it which we need to think what will happen if consciousness goes wrong well it will fall apart and there will be issues for that happening. This is what consciousness means and the issues we should be careful to consider.
