I zoned out on the consciousness debate around 2015, so forgive me if this stuff is now considered outdated, but as I recall those materialist theories of consciousness all run into the hard problem, right? I might be biased in one direction, but I feel like the fact that computational models can’t account for lived experience is a pretty good argument against them. Wouldn’t it just be more accurate to say that we’re missing a good theory of consciousness, at all?
