For example, the order in which questions are asked is important in quantum physics but not in classical physics. But in that respect, the human mind often behaves more in a quantum way, he says:
For example, in a study published 20 years ago about the effects that question order has on respondents’ answers, subjects were asked whether they thought the previous US president, Bill Clinton, was honest. They were then asked if his vice president, Al Gore, seemed honest. ... (the question order affected the outcome -ed).
This to me seem like a ludicrous leap in logic.
It's absolutely certain that quantum processes are involved in the brain, as part of basic chemistry. Whether any strange quantum effects 'bubble up' beyond this, and are exploited for consciousness is what needs to be proved, and I am skeptical. The recent rise of LLM's indicates to me that you don't need exotic physics to get spectacularly complex behaviour.
