He observed quantum superposition in the structure of microtubule proteins in neurons (like molecules in all of chemistry) and makes the giant leap to explaining consciousness, because he has no other good explanation for why the brain does stuff that he believes can't ever be done by computers. It would help if he defined consciousness, but of course you can't because the definition of a p-zombie is logically inconsistent. Consciousness is what thinking feels like, the positive reinforcement that you want to preserve by not dying. The evidence that the brain is not a quantum computer is the success of AI using neural networks. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tb2574dcac5560d73-Mc53ed4b5f7d84c2f9fed4a7b Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
