According to most philosophers, we recognize consciousness in others in two ways: 1-their bodies are physiologically similar to ours, and 2. functionally similar (behaviorally) to ours. We all agree that such relies on superficial observation. Other than in a scientific environment, we have little time to ascertain consciousness in others. Have you never seen someone curse at a malfunctioning candy dispensing machine as if the machine will feel bad and do better in he future?
