The warm and wet - your own brain's mystery
Hey. A stray thought for you... what if the rules are wrong? The “Too Messy” Machine...The official story, for a very long time, has been that the brain is a machine. A brilliant, biological computer, yes. But a classical one. It runs on synapses. It computes. A then B then C. And it is, the story goes, far too warm. Too wet. Too messy for the delicate, frosty dance of quantum coherence. That kind....of weirdness—particles in two places at once, spooky connections across space—belongs in shielde
