It starts interesting (though vague and speculative) enough, and he's a fascinating giuy, but wow does he go full woo towards the end! Jesus! Reading the subcellular quantum information through the eyes to upload the soul. Holy quantum batman, that's some advanced shit. And by advanced I mean completely impossible. So what if microtubules in individual cells manage to keep some electrons entangled for 10^-4 seconds. That all ends at longer distances thanks to decoherence. He tries to discuss decoherence away by saying that at finite temperature, some of these entangled states get excited, but that doesn't prevent decoherence once you cross the neuron barrier.
A very smart theorist I had the privilege to work with once told me in response to a publication which tried to explain all known and purported dark matter effects with one theory: "if your theory explains every observation out there, it's probably wrong".
