    I mean, sure consciousness is (probably) a physical process, so like any other process we should be able to replicate it with some sort of machine.

    …but I really really really doubt that machine is going to be a plain old Turing machine.

      Every machine is a plain old Turing machine.

      Even quantum computing is just a shortcut for a subset of hideous obscure proofs. They aren’t doing different math. Special pleading is a fallacy… except when I do it, that’s different.

        I don’t quite think my lawnmower is boolean complete.

        And while quantum computing may be expressible algorithmically (dunno, your claim, not mine), that doesn’t mean all of quantum physics is.
