I have very little to say on this topic as I consider it mostly mystical speculation worded as if it were fact, however this is now the 2nd time I've read you state this.
Please be clear: not ALL physicists agree with the above - actually, only a very few are even interested in dealing with consciousness, and of those, only a minority would hold the position you ascribe to them. Perhaps you could specify which ones you are talking about.
Yes. I wanted to grab that piece out and scream a little. I get so tired of hearing this shit. It's a bit analogous to '"Have you stopped beating your wife?" .
Anyone, including physicalists, who say we have not explained consciousness, are in fact holding a definition of consciousness that is not explainable because it is the spirit-mind definition.
So instead of damning materialism they simply damn themselves.
physicists feel that materialism is inadequate for describing consciousness
Physicists??? WTF??? Why and the fuck would a physicist have a useful opinion on the brain?
Materialism is inadequate for describing consciousness Spirits.
