IONS - Conversations With Greatness

simply not up to snuff scientifically.
Yes, one can say that quantum quibit fields are "thoughtlike" or
intrinsically mental. That does not mean "consciousness" as inner
awareness which seems to require a minimal complexity threshold for
post-quantum back-action with signal nonlocality to kick in.
The recent papers by Anthony Valentini clarify this point, but it falls
on deaf ears in the "New Age Cargo Cult Consciousness" circuit like one
sees below - pure "not even wrong" pseudoscience.

The interview explores how mind and all matter are related and conscious, and examines the belief held by mystics throughout the ages that consciousness goes all the way down the chain of existence! Dr. de Quincey's research demonstrates that not only animals have minds and souls, but so do plants, and even single cells such as bacteria, molecules, atoms and beyond. Nature has a mind of its own, he says.

"For no man can write anything who does not think that what he writes is for the time the history of the world; or do anything well who does not esteem his work to be of importance ... there is throughout nature something mocking, something that leads us on and on, but arrives nowhere;... All promise outruns the performance. We live in a system of approximations."
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essay on Nature (1844)
