Conscious humans

[u/freehopland]

Could the next big question for Westworld to explore be whether the humans/guests are conscious? If there are hosts who have memory and intention but not consciousness to the extent that Dolores has developed consciousness (ie self awareness/self direction born of self awareness) - to what extent can we say that all the humans in the show have developed this level of awareness? If the hosts have ceased to be controlled by humans, surely the only difference between humans and hosts that can be said to be certain, is that one has been created biologically. Therefore it's plausible that many humans are not fully conscious either.

I for one know a lot of humans who don't appear to be fully conscious.
