"I understand the math and what it predicts doesn't match my uneducated, intuitive idea of what should and shouldn't be conscious. also ur dumb haha[0]."
A bad case of the Dunning Kruger effect, quite surprising for someone who deals regularly with the totally unintuitive aspects of quantum physics.
