God's Debris

This debate is going to be a little different then others. So please read the instructions in the description:

-I am basing the debate around the book God's Debris by Scott Adams.

-In order to participate I highly recommend you read it first, it is not very long and you won't regret it. I have posted the link to the online version of the book below.

-Because the novel covers a wide range of topics I am going to frame the debate by posting initial arguments, please respond to these.

-If you would like to talk about an issue that I have not made an argument for, you can create it and start the discussion

What are your thoughts about the author's idea of levels of consciousness?

Level 1: Consciousness at birth: pure innocence, self-awareness.

Level 2: Awareness of others, and acceptance of authority (a belief system).

Level 3: Awareness that some beliefs may be wrong, but not which ones.

Level 4: Skepticism and adoption of scientific method.

Level 5: Avatar level, understanding that the mind is a delusion-generating machine, and that science is another belief system, although a useful one.
