>Materialism does not have an imperfect explanation of consciousness - it has zero explanation of consciousness. First off zero explanation does not validate other explanations. Second off what you said is strictly false. Much of neurology research operates on physically manipulating the brain through material means including brain surgery, drugs and even removal of certain aspects of the brain. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split-brain Subjects with Material damage to the brain where the connections between the two hemispheres of the brain are physically severed display behavior that is consistent with two consciousnesses existing in a single person. This is physical evidence that your consciousness is tied to physical and biological material. It further implies that because this consciousness is material based that consciousness can be recreated by simply simulating the material structure that creates it. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project The blue brain project is a research endeavor with the first step goal of emulating a full mouse brain and consciousness on super computers by using models of cellular neurons. This is real material based research on consciousness that is funded with a lot of money.
