Science doesn’t understand how the brain works well enough to make one—but that is not more of a “hole in the scientific understanding of the world” than is embryology, or muscles or metabolism—which we don’t completely understand either.
I don’t agree with the bits about “quantum entanglement” or “dualism” either—this material is just all wrong, in my view.
I wouldn’t worry about the “quantum entanglement” part, which is not needed for the more general claim that we don’t know squat about consciousness.
Anyway, I disagree—embryology, muscles, and metabolism are not mysteries in the way that consciousness is. I find it astonishing you would even make the comparison.

Tim, that’s an astonishing assertion. It sounds to me like you just claimed that we fully understand the mechanism that generates consciousness.
