Ok, get it, just another person abusing (or completely failing to understand) rigorous science to peddle bullshit. I can tolerate babbling about applications of the heisenberg uncertainty principle to everyday life when Ian Malcolm does it in Jurrasic Park (I thought that was really cool when I read it when I was 16 or so), but as an actual argument? Get out of here. I view people who do this as parasites feeding off actual science.
Just curious, where do these types go wrong exactly? If the brain is a measuring instrument of quantum phenomena, wouldn't it collapse particle/waves into the observed state so that some of us might read one thing from the data while others read something else? Could consciousness relate to quantum mechanics in some way?
