What does /sci think of quantum consciousness?

>> No.5378065

Penrose is an idiot.

>>5378047
Sub-atomic world extrapolated to the macro-world. The brain might function like a quantum computer, but I highly doubt it.

"I think it would be cool if the capabilities of the human mind were made possible only by quantum effects. Therefore, since no one has managed to build AI yet, I'm going to deny that AI is possible with non-quantum machines."

Crap.

Sounds like a mysterious answer to a mysterious question (http://lesswrong.com/lw/iu/mysterious_answers_to_mysterious_questions/)) to me.

How has reddit treated you?

Next time don't paste links to pseudoscific articles that pop-sci preteen militant atheists can drool over and pretend that it contains some form of rational thought to strengthen their superiority complex.

I know because contributing towards :

Twistor theory
Geometry of spacetime
Cosmic censorship
Weyl curvature hypothesis
Penrose inequalities
Moore–Penrose pseudoinverse
Newman-Penrose formalism
Penrose tiling
Penrose stairs
Penrose graphical notation
Schrödinger–Newton equations

doesn't mean you are clever or anything.

Random, unnecessary, and pretty damn unlikely given the absence of observed mechanisms or proposed macroscopic (i.e. evolutionarily significant) effects, while simple organisms can actually be modeled classically.

I guess they were right then.

Quantum Consciousness is complete bullshit.

>> No.5378283

It's bullshit. Both Penrose and Bohm do not understand quantum mechanics.

Just because you contribute something to science doesn't mean everything you say is automatically right. Einstein was wrong about a lot of things too.
