There are numerous definitions of consciousness, e.g., IIT. It's non-constructivist to knock the scientific method and scientists. Instead, develop the science.
Perspective: Penrose's latest thoughts and some of the proposed theory on local consciousness and the Penrose/Hameroff Orch-OR theory are fully supported via empirical evidence by Marx/Gilon dating back from 2012. Connect the dots. Last, Hameroff's ongoing empirical research on states of consciousness, incl. subconsciousness and unconsciousness hold merit too. Put your operational definition of consciousness to the public test; publish it here.
