These discussions take a lot of time to get to the crux because neither side states their assumptions. Assumptions rarely get voiced at all. I find it useful to ask: 1. Do you believe in quantum consciousness? 2. Do you think a "brain upload", a high-accuracy digital model of an organic human brain, would think or be conscious? 3. What is your working definition of thinking? It doesn't need to be rigorous.
