Wrong, consciousness is unconditioned. You cannot provide any reliable evidence that consciousness or sentience is conditioned, because those evidences, such as seeming changes in thoughts, moods, etc as things which are observed by the same consciousness which they are supposed to be proving the changeable nature of, do not actually provide any information about that observing consciousness. Sentience or consciousness is not the same thing as the exterior sensory and internal mental phenomena which it apprehends. Every single argument for consciousness being conditioned automatically fails without exception because they all actually rely on the example of changes and conditioning in non-conscious things which are observed by consciousness, not changes in consciousness itself.

>And with that, the Buddhist position on consciousness is refuted
