Don't drink the quantum Koolaid

It's speculation - as long as you know that and admit that - there's nothing wrong with it. The corollaries that can be drawn from the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics are so eerily similar to some stuff that eastern philosophies say that I can understand the temptation of some to make the big leap. But pretending that you KNOW what you're talking about (Deepak Chopra, anyone ?) when you go there instead of admitting that you're just making a wild speculation is dishonest at best.

I don't buy into Orch-or either, but nice touch on cutting off Hameroff's answer to the red haired girl. A classy touch, really. Also, he never denied being a reductionist, he merely claims his position is non materialist because the quantum level implies non locality.
I'm the first to warn people about pseudoscience but you clearly have no clue about what you are talking about.

The one with hameroff is from the beyond belief conference.
As for the rest, no idea.

don't believe that 2 + 2 = 4 but you are sure it does,right ? truthfully you do not understand quantum theories or physics do you ? you did not explain nothing only that you thought Quantum was wrong offering no facts. quantum physics 2 + 2 does not have to be = 4 can be proven.

Where can I find the full video of the debates shown in this video?

@Ahabite I dig what the dude is doing. He is trying to put the dreamers in their places so they don't lead certain of us astray. An honorable endeavor to say the least. But he has no answer as to what is happening, he is only saying what he thinks it isn't... Sorry folks, not that you care what I am writing anyway, but a coworker just told me about Sexy Sax Man and now I am too laughy to argue with smart people. Life is good! Careless whisper? Really? That dude is my hero!

@Ahabite Let me clarify. The creator of the video is using surface observations for the purposes of extrapolation. With the limited information available, a certain level of speculation is to be expected. My issue with this presentation is this. The dude is attempting to disqualify one side's speculation with his own speculation. I don't know the answers, you don't know the answers, and neither does the guy who made this video.

Thank you very much for your work on youtube, Lordimmolation. The utter quackery of the comments on this page is evidence that you are clearly making an impact. It is heartening to have people like you on the internet, keeping the balance of sanity in our favour. Keep up the good work!!

@awfullyawful Not to be rude, but I don't think you know what words mean. How is quantum physics only concerned with "surface observations"? You are just saying words that you read from books which gave you your ideas, but have never had them subjected to a little thing called reality. You have no idea how ironic it is that you said the sea from a glass of water comment; as that is precisely what you are doing not lordimmolation.
It's funny how people have this weird idea that they have all these "facts." Most of us can't even admit that there is only one fact: THERE ARE NONE. We don't know anything. And even if that's admitted, it's rarely accepted fully. We keep speculating. But nothing of all our knowledge holds any real truth, as we're limited to five senses. Humans are so scared of not knowing the facts, they have to pretend they do. But how can we define the universe with 5 vowels and 21 other letters? It's crazy!

@Jonnyshaft3 So am I right in assuming you don't believe that 2 + 2 = 4 is a fact, or that A = A is a fact? Well how about the fact the earth is spherical or that we share a common ancestor with primates? The designer of the computer you are using has used certain knowledge of electrical circuits to produce a working machine....but I guess he doesn't know any 'facts' either?? If there is no truth then what your saying is of no more value than what I am saying from your perspective.
