By Nick Herbert - quite an interesting discussion of consciousness which seems to have a connection to the problem of understanding what they hell the quantum wavefunction collapse actually means. I'm still dumbfounded by it and I've thought about it a lot. I think the so called "Many Words" interpretation makes the most sense to me at this point. Which is astounding as I dismissed it as totally dopey when I first heard about it.
