The "interpretation" that you are using of QM is just one of many proposed interpretations. Specifically, you are referring to an interpretation called the "Von Neumann–Wigner interpretation". It's not an interpretation that I buy into. The only interpretations that really make sense to me are objective collapse theories and the Many Worlds interpretation. For neither of these interpretations does human consciousness cause wave function collapse. If you want to know more about the various interpretations of QM, there's a Wikipedia page on them here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretations_of_quantum_mechanics#Many_worlds https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpretations_of_quantum_mec... If you'd like to know even more, here's a good book on the topic: https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Mechanics-Experience-David-Albert/dp/0674741137/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=philosophy+quantum+mechanics+albert&qid=1569538654&sr=8-2 https://www.amazon.com/Quantum-Mechanics-Experience-David-Al...
