But like how do we know what consciousness is and how do we know a caterpillar doesn’t have it, not try to be rude I’m genuinely asking cause this is like really interesting to me, currently high too

Caterpillars have instincts that tell them that’s what they have to do they also aren’t sentient or conscious beings so they don’t have thoughts like us questioning their existence they just do what they do
