the 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.
