I found this video very interesting. I'm a follower of many "singularity types" as they call them in this interview.
While I still think Tom's model is the most useful one we currently have, I still like to keep an open mind and hear what other people have to say who are interested in consciousness. Stuart has some interesting theories on quantum mechanics in the brain and it could explain some metaphysical questions such as out of body. Not saying I totally agree with him but I find it very interesting. Hopefully you guys will too.
p.s. Didn't know where to post this so I hope this is fine.
Much Love TOEers
