[ExI] Quantum consciousness, quantum mysticism, and transhumanist engineering

I have 3 questions for Brent Allsop:

1) Do you currently have any reason to believe somebody (other than
yourself) who is in the middle of a calculus exam is conscious but 12 hours
later when that same person is in his bed in a deep sleep is not?

2) Do you currently have any reason to believe a intelligent black woman is
conscious but a intelligent silver robot is not?

3) There is nothing special about meat, so logically if one is skeptical
about the existence of computer minds one should be equally skeptical about
the existence of other minds in general and embrace solipsism. Do you agree?
