Consciousness is as supernatural as natural numbers. Have you heard about philosophical zombie calculator? It looks and operates exactly like a calculator, but it doesn't perform operations on a subset of natural numbers. Your usual calculator experiences natural numbers and tells you about it by displaying them. In zombie calculator there's darkness inside, it doesn't experience anything.
Yes, I'm mocking some philosophers' views. But I haven't seen strong rebuttals.
To be precise I'm mocking the idea that existence of consciousness can depend on some non-physical condition.
