But pointing again to the cat's point of view.
What's about, if you are yourself in a box, all is black, you can't see
anything? Just thinking, in absolute darkness. Nobody can hear you. (So you
don't ecxist for other observers outside of the box.)
You can think, so you are.
But what are you? - You can't see anything.
How long can you preserve your mind?
