    Not speaking for AnarchoMalarkeyist, not sure what they had in mind but IMO it's because a physicalist solution to the mind-body problem doesn't really make sense when you think about it.

    I think the most damning argument against mind-body physicalism is this and I've yet to see a proper rebuttal: https://iai.tv/articles/consciousness-cannot-have-evolved-auid-1302

    Basically consciousness cannot possibly be generated by or equal to physical stuff, so any kind of purely physical model of the brain wouldn't produce consciousness.
