Robert Jahn found that human intention could flip about 1 quantum bit in 10,000. But these were random people walking in off the street who had no stake in what they were doing. To me, it's a plausible hypothesis that consciousness takes up residence in a body and learns to think and move by flipping quantum bits inside his adopted nervous system. This is a trained process with feedback, and the "I" inside develops a reliable ability to flip quantum bits and thus to make things happen. This is my candidate hypothesis for the mind/body problem.

I've watched many of Sabine's videos; I like her but the reductionist/materialist outlook is a bit too insane, at least when it excludes all else. Like so many, Sabine needs to turn her telescope around to see "what's doing the looking." When she asked what readers hoped to find thanks to the Webb Telescope, I said, a tad facetiously, I hope we might learn how we got consciousness from cosmic dust.

Meanwhile, give me Rupert Sheldrake, morphic resonance, and so many other things Rupert has investigated, most scientifically, any day. Or Tesla, paraphrased: If scientists would think in terms of energy, waves, vibrations or resonance, they would learn more in 10 years than they have so far (circa early 1900's).
