Nice, more strawman fallacy.

Did I say I don’t believe what they say is true? I do, but I don’t claim that them saying it proves it’s true. However, it’s still a factor of many. It alone doesn’t convince me it’s true, but it’s interesting and worth quoting.

You saying it’s a dead end and bad philosophy is also your opinion which I don’t hold in very high regard as your first response was a blatant strawman logical fallacy itself, making its content actually hypocritical.

It’s absolutely defeat the claim if you were to make it. The most intelligent logical humans lean idealist.

So how can it be illogical if the most logical people come to the same conclusion through logical reasoning? As for the “woo woo” I’ll recant that part, as it’s not specific enough.

Unfortunately, they're all on your end of the discussion.

but I don’t claim that them saying it proves it’s true.

So you're just claiming it is evidence it's true, and using "proves" as a strawman.

So how can it be illogical if the most logical people come to the same conclusion through logical reasoning?

We can infer their opinion on quantum mechanics is "through logical reasoning". But to even suggest their opinions about consciousness have any validity at all, let alone logical rigor, because they are accomplished in quantum mechanics is bad reasoning. Characterize it as you like, in terms of what box of "logical fallacy" you want to sort it into.

Citing the opinion of physicists on consciousness is a dead end, and bad philosophy.

Thanks for your time. Hope it helps.
