>> There’s still consciousness left in the space of things we can easily observe on nature but can’t yet explain.
> When doing path integrals for predicting particle interactions, we have to consider ALL possible paths and QED matches very, very well its predictions. So any new force has to either require huge amounts of energy or interact very, very rarely.
Is consciousness, and the causal role that it plays in reality, fully understood by QED theory? It has high predictive power of future states in a system where consciousness is present?
I see elsewhere you deploy:
> Honestly, it just sounds like human exceptionalism and God of the gaps all over again. I find it pretty hard to justify "we don't know exactly therefore I can invoke magic".
This is a rhetorical technique that can be used in both directions, it would be not difficult to put silly words into your mouth also - the neat thing about reality is that it fully supports describing and perceiving it other than it really is. Typically, people tend to dislike when others do this (if they describe it in a way inconsistent with how they experience it), but enjoy doing it themselves.
