I wrote this because I'm interested in how we reason about consciousness— I'm skeptical that we’ll be able to falsify physicalism or computational functionalism. This doesn’t mean that either theory is true or false, but rather that it’s not a resolvable question. We reason about/test theories of consciousness in physicalist contexts without testing assumptions of physicalism because we use the knowledge of our
