Try to work through the implications of this one for a second, and see exactly how many absurdities it brings up.

"We lack a model for other vessels for consciousness than the brain, I will therefore posit that the brain is a time-traveling quantum supercomputer based on some phenomena that are otherwise completely inexplicable under neurorealism.
I definitely have a model for this btw."

I'm not saying "neurorealism is whack" gives automatic rise to compelling alternative models.
I *am* saying that making models that make even less sense because "it's the only model we have lol" is something that should have died with Descartes.
Replying to
consciousness as an emergent property of brain processes is... questionable. (I say that as someone who had that as his model for many years.)
