- andrewcooke 17y agothat doesn't help with predicting what you would do, though, does it? (also, i'm not sure how qm resolves the mind-body problem, and the article you linked to doesn't explain, as far as i can see - qm does suggest that there may be something special about the mind, since it may be what makes observers special, but qm is still "physics", so it doesn't explain a non-physical mind (it may help resolve the question of free will because it could introduce indeterminism, but the problem of free-will is not the mind-body problem) (on the other hand i'm not clear why you introduced the mind-body problem at all, as it's not really the issue here...)).
