Why aren't these ideas already a science?
Consciousness is so complex a topic that a science of consciousness is the most complex science of them all. When we consider the idea that with in all consciousnesses there is contained all knowledge about everything the true complexity of a science of consciousness is reveled. Many times to be able to ask the questions about something you have to have the terminology to do so. This has not existed until recently.
The singularity bias is so strong that scientists usually do not even consider questions about conscious multiplicity. If someone asked the question: "What is the consciousness of a cidentireplica in relation to that of the original?", even if they came up with the conclusion that they have the exact same consciousness, since they are not the same person they will not have the same ixperiencit. The terminology did not even exist to ask the questions in the right way.
Behaviorism [[1]] generally discouraged the development of sciences that tried to study consciousness beyond just the scientific study of behavior. The development of neurosciences [2] and computer sciences[3] have allowed us to study what is actually involved in producing consciousness.
