* "Computers cannot be conscious. For the same reasons, no biological system can be conscious. Consciousness is impossible in the current universe. Only future AGIs with suitable quantum computers can be conscious. Our consciousness is computed in the future, but about the present."

* Consciousness exists to provide slow but more sample-efficient/culturally-programmable command sequencing/high-level control for learning.
