It's a waste of time because we know about as much as we are ever going to know a about that? Naw! There has to be computer oriented neurobiologists, and physicists who are willing to push the envelope a bit. Consciousness may be profitable field of learning, or it may stand still forever, as is surmised. Of course doing experiments with living things, including ourselves, and quantum-photonic-dna-computing, will prove this true or false. I am guessing in a round-about way we will gain more knowledge, otherwise, its like drawing a line in the sand and saying nothing beyond it exists. An anti-Xeno sort of thing.

And all I was saying is that quantum computers ARE qualitatively different in the way they could perform intelligent actions, and all this hand wringing over consciousness is a waste of time because we already know as much as we're ever going to know about that.
