There. Finished it. Consciousness is more than computation. Couldn't agree more. That just misidentifies a physical manifestation of consciousness, one of its effects really, for the thing itself. Otherwise we might suppose that a flicker of consciousness must arise from the operation of the laptop my hands are resting on right now. I don't think so.
I wouldn't be so sure. I'm immediately put off by any use of the word "quantum", part of why I ignored this thread to begin with. But given his credentials I'm intrigued.

He's a loon with a degree. His opinions on OBE's and afterlives are the musings of a loon - as always. When pop sci comes up with a new buzzword, and the mere mention of "qunatum" this or that;s no longer draws ratings...he'll be as forgotten as the guy who came up with the first PSI cards.
