The person you replied to isn’t the one that switched to conscious.

>non-computable

Something like 70-80% of all humans believe in a soul or spirit, and of the remainder, many of them are unsure whether human like intelligence can be produced by computable processes.

So it wouldn’t be surprising that the OP does think there are non-computable processes going on in the brain.

Yes he is, the message he replies to is about intelligence:

>> Intelligence (and probably consciousness) is an emergent feature

> Something like 70-80% of all humans believe in a soul or spirit

Then they should say "I believe intelligence only comes from the soul" or "I believe intelligence is not computable", if that's what they mean. "It's just numbers" as an argument is either incomplete or not entirely honest.
