  • I mean I get what you’re saying but this seems super short sighted. There is good reason to not jump to quantum effects as an explanation for anything unknown. That said, dismissing evidence that suggests that the brain makes use of quantum effects because “quantum mysticism.” It frankly seems far more likely that immensely complicated that’s had billions of years to evolve, such as a brain, would make use of available phenomena even if it’s not something we understand. Note that I’m not suggesting magicy magic quantum physics is secretly magic, simply that mechanically there’s no reason why some parts of consciousness would not make use of quantum effects.
