Right, I remembered him after I posted. I don't know what to think of that. He obviously knows quantum theory. He can open any undergraduate textbook on neurophysiology and read all about how neurons work. So is he merely crazy, filling some emotional void religion might had filled in the old days, or something else? I don't know.
- maaku 13y agoConsciousness and free will seem mysterious, so he posits the only mystery he knows in the universe at that scale. Predictable human bias not unique to physicists. http://lesswrong.com/lw/iu/mysterious_answers_to_mysterious_questions/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/iu/mysterious_answers_to_mysterious_...
- ScottBurson 13y agoDo you really believe we know all there is to know about how neurons work? I don't. I think there are lots of surprises lurking.
- nitrogen 13y agoSo is this a "Quantum Mind of the Gaps" argument?
- nzp 13y agoI am not sure we positively know every single detail there is to know about neurons, but we know an excruciating amount of details. At the level of a single neuron, it's physiology and connections to neighbouring neurons, we know everything we need to know that it has absolutely nothing to do with QM. There are no mysterious phenomena here, nothing outside biochemistry and physiology.
