`Human Consciousness: Requires quantum physics (Humans)

Is much of what we experience of reality an illusion? That is the subject of this interview. How does quantum mechanics relate? Is our brain a machine?

But even after seeing behind the mirror of what IS (so to speak) I also came to the conclusion that illusion or not, it is all I have so jump fully into it hook, line and sinker. Why not? Even if all is an illusion, I am - here - not behind the mirror. Only cognizant in the now. -

Before that slicing happened, it seemed there was a single unified consciousness. So it's not implausible that there is a single conscious agent. And yet it's also the case that there are two conscious agents there, and you can see that when they're split. I didn't expect that, the mathematics forced me to recognize this. - One side of the consciousness (the left) processes our logic conscious and the other side processes our emotional conscious. They do overlap to some degree, but together as a whole conscious they process the whole. I thought they knew that already?
