But let's just say that maybe something quantum is going in in the brain.

That might sound kind of woo-woo or new-agey, but quantum biology is literally a burgeoning field.

We know photosynthesis and enzyme creation.

We know that those things involve quantum effects.

So we think of the body as warm, wet, and noisy, you know, kind of more akin to kind of decoherence and not maintaining quantum coherence.

But that is over and over again getting proven wrong, you know?

And so, okay, so let's just assume maybe something quantum is happening in the brain, and that explains why we see kind of discrete macroscopic reality, right?

If you talk to even certain scientists today who are working on quantum computers, in one interpretation, you have spooky action at a distance.

So you have obviously entanglement with two photons across vast distances in a way that breaks the speed of light and freaked Einstein out.

But you also have spooky action across time where it seems like the measurement of photon B in the future is affecting the measurement of photon A in the past.

So weird, right?

So people who are now working on quantum computations have figured out that you can, and quantum computing just generally, have figured out that you can reverse qubits in quantum computations.

And so they're now saying maybe in a working quantum computer, which we're not at yet, you know, the chips are the main bottleneck, but, you know, maybe we get to at some point, you could send information back in time in one interpretation of quantum mechanics.

And so if you think about, like, the premonitions that people have and experience in their day-to-day life, maybe it's they're accessing their future knowledge state.

And so, like, you can come up with these, like, interesting physicalist models of consciousness.

And I think they're limited and wrong, but, like, you know.

Yes.

Well, so like...

You have a lot of biblical stories where angels are, they're often more violent or you don't want to be in their presence because it's overwhelming.

There's literally, so you mentioned St.
