Brain Really Uses Quantum Effects, New Study Finds

When Roger Penrose originally came out with the idea that the human brain uses quantum effects in microtubules and that was the origin of consciousness, many thought the idea was a little crazy. According to a new study, it turns out that Penrose was actually right… about the microtubules anyways. Let’s have a look.

    Issue: What is a differential of an irrational argument? Let a= some rational approximation, and A be the irrational number itself (if that makes sense). Then A - a > dA and there is no way a + dA > A can there be a length commensurate with all lengths (differential of length)? then all numbers would be rational

    The sun and moon cross the sky at 4 degrees per hour, 1 degree every 15 minutes... this is only possible to observe when standing on the surface of a spherical object. No other geometric configuration supports this observation (which can be made with the naked eye of any human who has proper eyesight). Sadly, this disproves "Flat Earth" belief without resorting to "science" or "NASA photos" or anything else that Flat Earth believers try to "debunk because normal people can't do it". More sad yet, it requires a basic understanding of geometry and spatial intelligence enough to see that objects running circular patterns above a flat surface cannot cross the sky at 4 degrees per hour all day or all night. Confronting a "Flat Earth Believer" (tm) with this simple, observable fact tends to lead to ad hominem attacks and blocking them on social media platforms 🤣🤣

    English is one of the languages that has a built-in Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This states that there is a limit to the precision of properties of words, such as how they sound and how they are written. The more accurately you pronounce a word, the less certain is how it is written, and vice versa.

    Roger Penrose is an intelligent man and realizes that human beings DESPERATELY need to feel that they have something different and above what current and future generations AIs have .... so they are cashing in on that ...... this is religion sneaking in the back door just like some religious people held that "humanity can't explain how bumblebees can fly ... so there must be supreme god uplifting them" ..... but now human beings are making bumblebee like robot that fly and AIs that chat better than most people. Even if there really are some quantum effects happening at the nano scale in the microtubules in the brain ..... there are many interactions happening in the human brain, even gravity ... but to store and process information that integration must decrease entropy and be some way controllable. These guys are keying into instinctively attractive memes for humanity, probably the same ones that appeal to flat earthers

    We should continue to let Koch Brothers, Perdue, Tyson, and (the other 2) control 99% of chicken supply in the food chain in America. They provide warehouses that are protected by jail sentences and huge fines if anyone tries to get in there and see what's going on - so I'm sure it's a veritable Utopia of sensible and sustainable treatment of the poultry housed within. Maybe if we keep factory farming and never switch to more sustainable and sanitary conditions, things like this will just go away. The important thing is profit and stock prices, not public health and safety.
