Nah. Of late, I’ve come to fear physicist philosophers, they are too often, too in love with their own genius and ideas, to be trusted with explaining the nature of our human existence.
There really isn’t any need to invoke the super natural to explain consciousness, we just need to be willing to study nature and learn from her, that is the physical materialist world made out of elements and minerals and cells and neurons, developing along the fantastical evolutionary processes that unfolded upon this spectacular unique planet Earth.
I am a bit opinionated on this topic, since I’ve been doing a self study this couple years, and then did a dissection of Donald Hoffman “Case Against Reality” which I found irritating, insulting and quite dishonest when it came to representing biological medical science. But, I’m also willing to be challenged. After all we learn through our mistakes.
After spending a lot of time on that project I came across one Mark Solms and through him Antonio Damasio (search YouTube - both give lots of talks), these are sort of 'leaders" in their field, but there are many other serious scientists studying consciousness from an evolutionary biological perspective, leaving out all the meta physical wishful thinking, and it’s utterly amazing the things they have discovered.
Our body/mind “problem” can certainly be understood without resorting to God or “consciousness” as some outside agent imposed upon biology. Consciousness is part of the fabric that biological creatures created through evolution. The story is amazing and so much more constructive than the rhetoric dependent pipe dreaming.
