Lots of materialist reductionism in this thread. Funny that you guys consider yourselves super “scientifically minded” but your beliefs are purely faith-based and contradict what most actual researchers on the field think. You’ll be very hard pressed to find a scientist studying consciousness that believes it’s purely a mechanistic and chemical process fully localized on the brain.
