The big thing is it doesn't even need biological structures...
Which is kind of obvious due to viruses being fucking everywhere.
But it doesn't seem like you're that interested in learning anything
Again, you make this statement with supreme confidence, when the vast majority of the world's experts on consciousness and physics would strongly disagree with you.
My mind is open, dude. I'm just pointing out that you seem to have seized on particular theories and given them more weight and confidence in your mind than the myriad competing theories.
Like, you're the one that brought up Penrose as support for your argument, but then when I pointed out that he doesn't actually support your argument (at least, not as strongly as you claimed) then you completely disregard that. "Learning" doesn't consist of just grabbing onto whatever theories sound cool or make you feel good. It's about trying to understand the whole spectrum of information and possibilities. In my mind, the more you learn the less certain you are about what is "true".
it doesn't seem like you're interested in substantiating your claims.
