Maybe it's a clever hack. Suppose you are making a universe. You want to ensure that the universe you make is interesting, i.e. contains consciousness. So you set up the rules like QM: everything exists in probabilistic superposition until a consciousness observes it. One of the superpositions contains a consciousness, and that collapses the wavefunction guaranteeing consciousness in your universe. It's a way of using survivor bias in your favor. Disclaimer: not to be taken seriously. Disclaimer #2: Also, coincidentally, not related to poster drdeca. Unless he is me from another superposition and we haven't collapsed yet because you all are not as conscious as you think.
