Nowhere in the Searle Argument did he assert "People are not conscious."
Nowhere in the Searle Argument did he assert that "Neurons don't understand
Chinese."
Nowhere in the Searle Argument did he argue -
1. Neurons don't understand Chinese.
2. If neurons don't understand Chinese, then people are not conscious.
ergo
3. People are not conscious.
