Possibly metaphysical naturalism is wrong and supernatural things exist! And maybe thoughts (and/or the experience of consciousness) are among those supernatural things. That could be it. In which case sure, maybe solving math problems can create consciousness (why not?).

- Eisenstein 5mo agoYou are attacking a strawman without answering the question.
- funimpoded 5mo agoDo I think supernatural things like thoughts not being represented in physical reality exist? I defer to Russell's Teapot on this one and lean toward "no". If they do, then attempting to reason about anything gets pretty iffy anyway. Who knows what might exist or be true, in that case!
- Eisenstein 5mo agoThere is nothing that says that if thoughts are not made in brains they must be supernatural. You are making conclusions not based on evidence or argument.
