[Ham]
Could we have expected anything more from an existentialist?

[Krimel]
No but this craven failure address the issue is exactly what we have come to
expect from the world's only "Essentialist".

But if you are certainly free to take a stab at violating my expectations:

A thing can have being without awareness. My computer has being but, AI
notwithstanding, it has no awareness. I assume you also have a computer but
I have no awareness of it. There was water on Mars that none of us as aware
of until recently, yet it did not just suddenly appear and throw itself in
front of the Mars rover. In short a thing can have being without awareness
either self awareness or the awareness of some other.

Awareness on the other hand requires being. It presupposes being. A being
must exist prior to its becoming aware of other things that exist.
