Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
I don't know - at about 18 minutes he it seems to me that he starts grasping for straws, trying use a basically obsolete interpretation of quantum physics to bolster his ideas about consciousness being essential and essentially non-physical.
I think he's just too attached to how he originally framed "the hard problem" and he's just not willing to let that go.
Defining consciousness as "what it is to be like something" just seems so hand-wavy and unhelpful to that I was surprised how much he endorsed that "definition"
