> There are some quantum effects in slightly larger system, like photosynthesis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis#Efficiency https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthesis#Efficiency but it's not a global effect or something that can solve complicated problems. It's just a very local, very short lived improvement, not something that can solve the TSP or think about the meaning of life. It's something in between of the intelligence of an electric switch for a lamp and a very cheap calculator. This is far too confident a statement. I totally get that there may not be strong, or really any, evidence for quantum effects being a component of consciousness. But the converse is true as well. There is not definitive or even strong evidence that quantum effects do not contribute to consciousness. These sorts of religious statements belay a misunderstanding of nature of science - science is a process, which builds models that best fit the data found through experimentation, and the models get updated or even completely refactored as new data arrives. Science does not state anything as a definitive truth. We've seen countless times throughout history and "fundamental truths" get upended as a new hypothesis much better fits the data.
