Discussing Quantum Consciousness

Описание: Is the secret to consciousness hidden in the strange world of quantum physics? In this discussion, we explore the popular theories linking the two.

We break down the three major interpretations of quantum mechanics—Copenhagen, Many-Worlds, and Bohmian Mechanics—to understand what they say about the nature of reality and whether they leave room for free will.

Then we discuss whether we need quantum mechanics in our development of a practical framework towards understanding the world and our freedom within it. In the StanRichson document, we ground consciousness and freedom in modern neuroscience. Through concepts such as embodied cognition, predictive processing, and neuroplasticity, we build a case for consciousness as an emergent property of the brain's complex, classical systems.
