Good summary. Classical physics is not good enough for chemistry. So why are we surprised that without a quantum foundation, biology cannot function at all? OT

OTOH, we have a theory that classical computation adequately accounts for intelligence. Finding an unavoidable quantum route that nature has picked would certainly be interesting, despite that quantum Turing machines are also classically computable (I think).

Finding an unavoidable quantum route that nature has picked would certainly be interesting, despite that quantum Turing machines are also classically computable (I think). I don't think we have a foundation for classical computation without thermodynamics, which is a classical theory whose ultimate foundations probably require quantum information theory.
