If I understand the "Cartesian theater" right, you would still not have access to consciousness proper. It would be like plugging in to a cable TV signal or something like that; there would still be a "filter" in between. A proper "Consciousness theater" to me would be to actually experience the other entity or organism while you are experiencing yours, to be able to make objective evaluations on a subjective experience...

@Drastam Wha? There is no part of the brain that is creating subjective experience? The whole thing created subjective experience by the definition of subjective. To have an objective experience one would have to be god and experience the entirety of existence without regards to the barriers brought on by space-time, which is utterly ridiculous. In the end each individual brain is like a self-manifesting computer in the bubble of our heads with different sensory data which creates originally.

This is fascinating - but I have to say I do find him a tiny bit patronising.
