Quantum Physics is a model of reality created in consciousness . All models are modes of thinking knowing perceiving .

QM is a mathematical model created in human consciousness .

It cannot explain consciousness in the way a piano cannot explain Mozart or the ink in a book explain the mind of Shakespeare .

You don't need to be a physicist to know that !

PS

Stay focussed on topic Brian.

Your emotional reaction is clouding your critical judgement.

The fact that you think that Karen Barad's theory of "queer atoms" is the new paradigm is evidence of that. ;-)

Personally, I like Deepak he is able to take my punches.

However, the real issue here is what he says about consciousness in relation to quantum physics.

That is what is important.

So Brian should we assume that you fully agree to everything Deepak says about quantum physics?

Deepak is arrogant, smug and clueless at the same time.

He has his Ego invested in keeping consciousness a mystery.

Brian Josephson's response:

And Jack himself isn't arrogant or smug? You could have fooled me!!

Jack Sarfatti's reply:

No I am not. I am simply honest in my opinions. I have little tolerance for clueless fools who corrupt the public understanding of science.


Brian Josephson continues:

Perhaps a bit of narcissism... That's what "celebrity nut jobs" do. ;-)

And as for ego, sending photos of oneself to people who haven't indicated any wish to follow every movement of the person concerned is a pretty good indicator of ego it seems to me.
