How can you verify the existence of any consciousness other than your own?

Is the interaction of value to you.

Since we don't really know how the brain works or what consciousness really is the question you are proposing is currently unanswerable

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solipsism

Realize that you-in-the-past was also a difference consciousness. Realize that you can't know any information about reality without knowing there is something beyond what you are directly experiencing.

And yes, this requires faith.

By reproducing one artificially and comparing it to current ones.

How do you compare it

By measuring behavior?

Because then I could control the world I percieved. It would all be just in my head, right? If I can't control my surroundings, that means that it's real, physical.

But perhaps they don't even exist. Perhaps they, or all that can be perceived, is an illusion by a grand deceiver. How can one distinguish between someone capable of making predictions about their own thinking in advance, and an illusion of someone making predictions about their own thinking in advance?

Do some sort of brainwave test and then think about something then do the same test on someone else if you get similar results then reality seems to apply to each of your conciseness the same therefore you seem to confirm it

"You can't" is indisputably the only correct answer.

It's a neat concept for finding the model with highest likelihood, but it can't prove anything. Parsimony is elegant, but elegance isn't essential.

A computer could recite it's algorithms on demand.

Assuming () and OP are the same faggot, then by monitoring your own nerve impulses in the brain while thinking "your thoughts" and you find a correlation, then prove that it is a causation, then you can monitor someone else's brain.
If you find the same or somewhat similar nerve impulses, then you can be sure he is thinking similar thoughts to "your thoughts".

Not so hard after all, is it?

hmm.... really makes you think

You literally fucking can't. And do you ever wonder what is behind you? Does it stop existing when you not looking? The only thing that I think for sure exist is that fucker that are looking through my eyes right now which is me fucking crazy isn't really make you think

probably some crop from a porn video

Fucking idiot.

Just google criticisms of solipsism

You can ask other people

muh dick

That's why I'm asking

If I have a choice between a consciousness test that can exclude the possibility of an invisible puppet-master pulling the strings to create the illusion of minds, and a consciousness test that reliably excludes rocks, bricks and chairs, I'm gonna pick the latter.

>A computer could recite it's algorithms on demand.
Yes, but it won't make use of that information except in small, trivial ways.

>implying the brain, neurons and consciousness are the same phenomena

You can't.
You can't even verify your own conciousness.
