Some people feel consciousness must be explained
at the quantum level. I'm not one of them, but to call
them "newage physicists" merely betrays your
ignorance -- some of them are highly respected and
respectable -- Roger Penrose, Stephen Hawking's
erstwhile collaborator, to name but one.
So how would you set about explaining
consciousness, Wade?
