If you want to prove me wrong all you have to do is tell me what the 7918th Busy Beaver number is, its finite and well defined but we know for a fact that no mechanistic process can ever find it, so if you can then your cognition must be non-mechanistic. Or just tell me what the 5th Busy Beaver number is, that wouldn't be rock solid proof as the 7918th would be but I'd still be enormously impressed! But I'll tell you 2 things that really are incompatible, Darwin's theory and a non-mechanistic cause for consciousness. One of them must be wrong and its not Darwin.
