There's a few videos by Sabine/Anton and also now PBS about Microtubules and conciousness, it's starting to gain ground and If I were an AI company right now I'd be having cold sweat.
Video of reference (check especially the ending summary where they calculate more or less how much would be necessary just to replicate a human mind's way of achieving conciousness if microtubules in fact contribute towards it):

- exe34 2y agothe argument for quantum consciousness is quite interesting: 1. consciousness is really weird. 2. quantum is really weird. 3. what if the two were really connected? edit: oh god, I just had a horrible thought: the universe is a simulation, and the reason consciousness requires "quantum" spookiness is because it's running on a different computer and plugged in as an adhoc skill.
- kergonath 2y agoIt is not much of an argument, though. It is at the same level as religion, in terms of explanatory power: “I don’t understand it, therefore it has to be a quantum effect”. We ought to be more humble than that. There are many very complicated things that we don’t understand and that have nothing to do with quantum mechanics.
