Discussion: Philosophy an Art form rather than science

You over simplify and make too many assumptions. Regarding anesthetizing people, it’s incredibly complex and there are all sorts of nuances, that you give little credit to. Neuroscientists are the first one’s to admit they are still dealing with frontiers of understanding how our brain functions, so simply because we haven’t found, as yet unimagined, sensors and feedback loops to challenge old assumptions, doesn’t mean they aren’t there, and a number of reasons to assume such subsystems probably do exist.

I don’t make this stuff up. This is directly gleaned from Stuart Hameroff who is a practicing anesthesiologist and ought to know what he is talking about.
I really recommend you revisit Hameroff’s short lecture where he describes an abbreviated explanation of how anesthesia works.

Stuart Hameroff: Anesthesia, Consciousness, Bohm and Penrose (EmQM17)

Note that anesthetics bind directly to microtubules and cause unconsciousness while leaving brain function unimpaired.

If that does not suggest a direct connection between microtubules and consciousness, I can’t begin to imagine a better argument.
