    How do you know that anyone else is conscious?

    THE TABLE

    What would we expect if a theory were true, and what would put it at risk?

  12. Concentric rings of still water with a small cup at the center.

    WHO CAN BE WRONGED

    If there is something it is like to be another being, does that change what we owe it?

A cup on a wooden table by a window in ordinary morning light, a hand nearby.
