Like I said earlier, this is pure nonsense as I have proof that I have inner
experience... I can't prove it to you because this is what this is all about,
you can't prove 1st person pov to others. And I don't see why the fact that a
computer is made of wire can't give it consciousness... there is no
implication at all.

Again denying the phenomena does not make it disappear... it's no explanation
at all.
