You argue from the premise that we don’t know how the brain produces consciousness, to your conclusion “computers cannot have feelings. They are not conscious.” In arguing this way, you’re using a lack of knowledge to supposedly prove a strong assertion. This sort of argument has been a recognised fallacy since the 17th century. John Locke called it “argumentum ad ignorantiam”.
