It’s possible to solve the mind body problem with neuroscience (and physics), but not neuroscience as presently conceived. Viewing the brain as a complex computer of simple cartoon neurons from which consciousness emerges is an insult to neurons, the brain, consciousness and life itself.
But ‘dumbing down the brain’ is exactly what neurocomputationalists do to match the AI narrative that computers will be conscious. Make each neuron equivalent to a 1 or 0.
But look inside each neuron (and glial cell) and see the scale-invariant hierarchical processes mediated by microtubule time crystal oscillations including quantum mechanisms. Anesthesia tells us quantum mechanisms in microtubules are the target of selective anesthesia effects on consciousness.
Some of our best thinkers have sold out to cartoon neuron doctrine in order to dumb down the brain to fit AI, including David Chalmers and Ned Block at NYU’s Center for Mind, Brain and Consciousness committed to silicon

And
@anilkseth who talks about biological naturalism to explain consciousness without explaining what biological naturalism is. It’s Orch OR Anil.

The future of AI and possibility of AI consciousness isn’t in energy-dependent silicon LLMs but in organic warm temperature biomimetic quantum computers based on microtubule geometry.

These won’t drain the world’s energy supply.
If they’re not interested in science and truth, perhaps they care about AI’s threat to our planet.
