I value life in all forms too much to agree with that statement. I value humans the most, but only if they can find a way to value themselves and their surroundings in a harmonious way.
YOU value all life. But that life doesn't value itself. It requires conciseness to do so.
Do you see consciousness as separate from life?
Would you agree that value requires more than just consciousness?
Yes, I do, thanks. A little embarrassed I got it wrong twice.
> Do you see consciousness as separate from life?
Yes. And not only that (theoretically) you can have consciousness without life. They are separate things. One is about growing and reproducing, that other is about thinking.
> Would you agree that value requires more than just consciousness?
I don't understand what you mean, so I can not disagree or agree. Do you mean the capacity to value something, or that the thing has value? Or something else?
No problem, I understood what you meant.

Okay. Where does consciousness live?

What I am saying is that consciousness by itself does not lead to judgement, and that it is possible to be conscious of something without assigning a value to it. Would you agree?
I have spent plenty of thought on that subject. If you wish to say something about it, then do, but do not assume other people will grasp your thought without saying it.
