DAVID: I firmly believe that our universe is conscious and our consciousness is a part of that overall state of the universe and our brain is a receiver of that ability. But the universe obviously preceded our appearance.

dhw:I have no doubt that our consciousness is part of the universe. I do not know whether the rest of the universe is conscious. Nor does anyone else, but the belief that it is has nothing whatsoever to do with physics. Thank you for your final comment, which is a welcome and devastating rejection of the article’s main thrust.

As regards the links, sometimes I simply can’t get beyond the first page. The computer gets stuck. I will liaise with Neil.

I'm sure Neil helped by getting into your computer. As for quantum relationship to our minds, all these wooly ideas go nowhere. It is all John Wheeler's fault with his proven late choice experiments. Our choices, after the fact, do affect what the quanta do.
