Do you understand the properties of objectivity and subjectivity? That's all that's required. Physics can be investigated by third parties. Consciousness can only be investigated in the first person. The purely naive intuition is accurate in this case.
The blood-brain exists to protect the brain from blood-born infections. Are you referring to Roger Penrose's theory about microtubes in the brain? It didn't have many supporters last time I checked

-
If it protects from infections better than letting white blood cells in, every major organ would have one. That's what they say it does because they don't know what it's actually for.
-
How could it act as a 'quantum amplifier' if it doesn't maintain quantum coherence at all?
-
Penrose's microtubules are supposed to maintain coherence. A quantum amplifier measures and amplifies decoherence events. And it is only a candidate machine - this is an empirical question. There's little point arguing rigorously about something that may not exist.
-
I think Penrose's theory is unlikely but it doesn't matter regarding the original question, because if that is how the brain becomes aware you could build an AI with quantum microtubes to make a conscious AI. I think any feature that can evolve can be artificially replicated
-
Of course. But not accidentally.
