Does it make sense to speak of "Universal Consciousness" or "Universal Intelligence"?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Until you can show a compositional difference between one set of neurons and another, both of which perform information process and of which only one is conscious, then you are presenting a 300 year old promissory note. How long can the materialist answer fail to deliver before it is considered a failure? The materialist approach to mind-body dates back to Newton! Physics has changed a lot since then, from classical ideas of particles bumping together to quantum processes. I fully accept the findings of neuroscience but do not accept interpretations that beg the question.

I was unaware that neuroscience was on a shot clock requiring everyone to accept an unsupported supernatural explanation when the buzzer sounds.

Last time I looked quantum mechanics was considered natural. While classical physics works well enough for describing processes at the macroscopic scale, the fundamental reality is still quantum. I fail to understand why the loudest advocates of science will not incorporate the most recent theories when it comes to the mind-brain problem other that trying to avoid findings that undermine their assumptions about how the world should work.

Case in point. Some quantum effects show retro causality. Meanwhile a recent neuroscientist claims that conscious choices occur after the unconscious has already set into motion the results of the decision. I believe the two very scientific findings are consistent and together support interactive dualism.
