因为人是有意识的，所以他们自然会对自己的意识经验的基础有看法，进而对一般的意识基础有看法。布洛克和他的同事们在文章的开头指出了这种现象所造成的“令人不安的状态”。人们可以反省地得出结论，意识是一种能量或类似于能量的东西，本质上是从非物质来源产生的，以产生他们独特的精神生活。因此，意识被认为存在于科学调查的领域之外。这种自省的结论可能有一个可以理解的基础，即意识作为一种工具来区分自己和他人的意图[3]--但它可能会严重误导人。
Because people are conscious, it is natural for them to have views about the basis of their own conscious experiences and, by extension, about the basis of consciousness generally. Block and colleagues open their piece by pointing out the ‘troubling state of affairs’ that this causes.People can introspectively reach the conclusion that consciousness is a form of energy or something akin to it that arises in essence from a nonphysical source to generate their unique mental lives. Consequently, consciousness is believed to lie outside the realm of scientific investigation. This introspective conclusion may have an understandable basis in the way consciousness functions as a vehicle for compartmentalizing the intentions of self and others [3]—but it can be seriously misleading.
