In the paper, Carrol goes through great pains to try reject people changing the laws of physics because they don't understand consciousness. This is exactly how I view people taking up the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics, where the wave function of the entire universe collapses when a random person makes an observation. Instead I take Schrodinger's equation (and the many worlds interpretation) as the rule and what we observe illuminates how _we_ work, or more specifically how the brain and consciousness work.
