He suggests quantum computers can't be simulated (probably a lot more slowly) by classical computers. I thought they could?

I think he is just unclear.

To be sure a classical computer *can* simulate a quantum computer, albeit very slowly. But the 1p measure is invariant for those delays, so it remains possible that the speed of the "comp" quantum computer will be explained by that fact.

He gives six evidences.

First, he falls for quantum pseudoscience.
Second, he says that he personally failed to make AI when he tried and incorrectly implies that difficulty means impossibility. Third, he brings up the hard problem and uses it to make an argument from ignorance. Fourth, he says he doesn't know how to define what he means by consciousness, and then makes another argument from ignorance.
Fifth, he repeats the mistaken Berkeley's Master argument.
Sixth, he falls for NDE pseudoscience.

Unconvincing.
