Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Discussion

What do you think is there besides neural impulses? Why is it almost a certainty?
The physical does not exhaust the actual.

Granted, I’m not a neuroscientist so I’m out of my depth here, but most outside of a reductionist few conclude that consciousness is more than just something the brain does.

I don’t mean to imply that it’s something mystical or woo woo, just that there’s more going on than appears.
