Quantum Consciousness & Proto-Consciousness

And this quantum consciousness is said to be a receiver of consciousness from the supreme/1st consciousness.

How come when they say quantum consciousness they say it's a receiver and there's a 1st consciousness?

What makes them say that?

Does it say that? I couldn't see it anywhere in that article.

I can't find where "they" said anything like that. Who are "they", or are you trying to conflate this article with some less-than-reputable one?

a major problem with Orch-OR is that the brain is too warm, wet and noisy to preserve entanglement between microtubules to be useful for information processing

well guess what if you saw the link they've already discovered quantum effects in microtubules.

So did your microtubules tell fibs in the OP? What quantum effects were going on in your consciousness to allow that to happen?

that's not the point i was trying to make. try rereading what i posted, and in particular the paper i linked.

 

the point isn't that there are no "quantum effects," rather the usefulness and necessity of them for neural processing seems low.

 

there are numerous other empirical issues with the theory, hence the lack of mainstream acceptance. would you like some other papers?
