materialism where we haven’t discovered all the laws of physics yet — specifically, those that constitute the sought-for materialist explanation of consciousness
It seems unlikely that new laws of physics are required to understand consciousness? My claim is that understanding consciousness just requires us to understand the algorithms in the brain.
Without that real explanation, “atoms!” or “materialism!”, is just a label plastered over our ignorance.
Agreed. I don’t think this contradicts what I wrote (not sure if that was the implication).
