Mind Body Quantum Mechanics, Stuart Alan Kauffman

Neurobiologists believe the mind brain system is and must be classical physics. For many, at some complexity, consciousness arises. This could be correct but faces what I will call the Stalemate: Such a mind can at most witness the world but, due to the causal closure of classical physics, cannot act upon that world. Such a consciousness must be merely epiphenomenal.
Quantum biology is exploding, showing that quantum effects can and do arise at body temperature. Quantum mechanics allows a partially quantum mind to have ACAUSAL consequences
for the “meat” of the brain, thus solving the Stalemate and answering the problem posed by Descartes’ Res cogitans and Res extensa: i.e. the Stalemate. Our human capacity to choose, in turn, demands that the present could have been different, thus the truth of counterfactual claims. If quantum measurement is indeterministic and real, quantum mechanics and measurement allow the present to be different. I shall discuss these issues and the newly discovered Poised Realm, hovering reversibly between quantum and “classical” behaviors, as a new basis both for the mind body system and a new class of constructable and evolvable
“computers” which are not algorithmic, Trans Turing.

Stuart Alan Kauffman is an American theoretical biologist and complex systems researcher who studies the origin of life on Earth. Kauffman graduated from Dartmouth in 1960, was awarded the BA (Hons) by Oxford University (where he was a Marshall Scholar) in 1963, and completed a medical degree (MD) at the University of California, San Francisco in 1968. After completing his residency in Emergency Medicine, he moved into developmental genetics of the fruitfly, holding appointments first at the University of Chicago, National Cancer Institute, then at the University of Pennsylvania, where he served as Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics.

    Consciousness is fundamental. Mind emerges with quantum events. We have three bodies: causal body (thoughtrons); Astral body (energy) Physical body (elemental; matter).We know a little about electromagnetism, but absolutely nothing about magnetism. There is so much we don’t know, to assume there is no Universal Intelligence in which we share is premature. .

    Nothing new here, he is attempting to explain the brain system via materialistic means, but it remains an open question.Could it be that neither the physics of the classical or quantum be an adequate or capable disciplines in explaining the mind. Borrowing on the incompleteness theorem, these systems of knowledge will always be incomplete in the exploration and the understanding of mind and body, something other then physical sciences is required..

    Let me help. The premises of physics is you are a zombie (for real). You hallucinate you have free will as in choice. You are nothing but a biological "robot". The above lecture states that you do have free will! Your life matters! That is because you have choice. But how can we know you have choice? Because of quantum theory. He explains that.

    ...ok I am commenting as I listen. I admit! . At 28min Kauffman spouts garbage about the quantum Zero Effect. Observation does not stop things from happening (eg. radioactive decay) it just can extend lifetimes arbitrarily long. One would need perfectly continuous measurement to reduce decay probability to zero, and that's not technically possible.

    Its call Quantum Zeno Effect - not "Zero" and is a theory advanced by quite a few others. There is no 'garbage' about it. To date there has been no 'proof' that you exist (the mind). The proof is you are a zombie (an idiot - as in really, an idiot, as in really; I mean really, as in in reality, as in reality, really. But he is trying to save you by saying you are not a zombie idiot but you have free will and are therefore presumably able to be smart. Do you understand?

    I sympathize on some of his political thinking, but a lot of his thinking and scholarship on the so called mind body problem is poor. The so called problem of physics is a strawman and a classical hack of scientific thinking. At the quantum level how disturbing would it be if the opposite were true and everything was 'predictable'? Should we then expect the man sitting on a throne in the clouds holding a scepter?

    Please do not question his scholarship when you put forward nonsense! How dare you do that? How DARE YOU. [ What is your nonsense? You say "so called problem of physics". its not a strawman: its the contemporary and historical premises of physics based upon "Closed Causality" , and therefore that means you are a "zombie" (your mind is mere epiphenomenon). Do you understand? He is saying classical physics as incorrect and opening up room for you to have a mind (instead of being a zombie-idiot that others think you are because it is impossible to have free will if everything is deterministic, and causality is closed). Make sense?
