    Either materialism is true and consciousness is some kind of elaborate illusion, or it's false and consciousness pervades reality in a way we don't understand.

    Either way, these idiotic experiments can not settle it. It's just nerds screeching excitedly about toys again.

      Maybe not these particular experiments but experiment in general has a good track record in figuring stuff.
