I had the same question as your first sentence.
I'm not sure I understand your second sentence, as I don't follow "entanglement news." Is entanglement currently being seen as taking part in everything, everywhere? Specifically in brain processes?
I'm intrigued by your third sentence.
I look forward to more sentences.
- rcxdude 2y agoThere is a (decidedly non-mainstream) idea that brain processes involve large-scale quantum effects, that quantum effects beyond just the normally expected biochemistry are essential to the functioning of the brain. There's not really much empirical evidence for it, and about the only theoretical argument is that the brain is much more efficient than a computer. I think people tend to like it because it makes brains (or more specifically human minds) feel more special.

- zoklet-enjoyer 2y agoThere's a guy in Twitter who thinks that the brain is an antenna that receives consciousness, or something like that. I'll see if I can find it, but it's kind of hard to navigate Twitter since I got banned. Edit: I couldn't find it. Something about microtubules

- michaelcampbell 2y agoOne of "those guys" is Sir Roger Penrose. A quick search on "microtubule consciousness" brings forth an enormous amount of spilled digital ink on the subject. Sabine Hossenfelder had a "science daily" video about it recently on Youtube. Worth a watch/listen. https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2024/05/brain-really-uses-quantum-effects-new.html https://backreaction.blogspot.com/2024/05/brain-really-uses-...
- michaelcampbell 2y ago> Is entanglement currently being seen as taking part in everything, everywhere? Not necessarily what they're saying here (I couldn't grok it either), but there's a bunch of woo being purveyed about "quantum consciousness" by Deepak Chopra recently. Some debates with Sam Harris are fun to watch.
