But then you are stuck being the only conscious entity...

To extended anywhere beyond the firm ground of "I know I am conscious", you need to step onto the progressively shaky ground of assumptions, which just amounts to "tests of consciousness"

i.e. I have a chemical goo brain that is conscious, therefore other chemical goo brains are conscious...

It is possible that you are the only conscious entity in the universe, and you have no tools whatsoever to disprove that. That knowledge is no help in determining the consciousness of anything besides yourself.

That is correct.

>Sure, if your architecture include hardware that is known to be capable of generation consciousness, the no one will say that.

Then circling back to your original comment, no architecture can include hardware that is known to be conscious, unless that architecture includes your personal brain, because lolakutty's brain is the only thing in the universe that is capable of generating consciousness...

Which is a totally meaningless statement. This is like im14andthisisdeep levels of philosophy here...the "Nothing is real therefore everything is real" kinda stoner riffing

He just goes around in circles saying inane non-sequiturs, then dodges when asked certain questions.
