if you simulate a brain with a Turing machine, it won’t have qualia (because: qualia is clearly a basic fact of physics and there’s no way just using physics to tell whether something is a Turing-machine-simulating-a-brain or not)
It isn’t even clear to Searle that qualia are physically basic. He thinks consciousness is a a high-level outcome
of the brain’s concrete causal powers. His objection to computaional apporaches is rooted in the abstract nature of computation, not in the physcial basiscness of qualia. (In fact, he doesn’t use the word “qualia”, although he often seems to be talking about the same thing).
