Because there is a difference between being more than physical, and the physical giving rise to the subjective experience. Being more than physical means that we are physical plus some special sauce. This would mean that a robot that we build probably lacks said special sauce, because we didn&#x27;t put the special sauce in. If on the other hand it&#x27;s the physical that gives rise to the subjective experience, then there is no reason to think that robots couldn&#x27;t have it.
