dhw:So why in the quantum world ... which nobody understands ... should the same principle be any more fantastic than a single consciousness/intelligence? In fact, which would you consider more likely to behave in these weird and wonderful ways: ONE universal consciousness, or countless individual consciousnesses interacting?

> Before you counter by asking where the intelligences came from, please remember that you have no idea where your "universal intelligence" came from. If one explanation is fantasy, so are they all ... although one of them must be close to the truth.-Yes, flights of fantasy. The universe follows an organization. The basic particles organized it and have created a universe that allows us to exist. There are underlying principles that yield to mathematical descriptions. And you propose a bunch of micro-consciousnesses running around? Who coordinates the menagerie? Or is it all amorphous? And how does that work? There must be a central organiziing force.
