An altered view of the source of consciousness through sub-cellular quantum entanglements.

Roger Penrose was advancing a precursor to this theory in The Emperor's New Mind back in the 1980s. My take (from having not read it) is that the whole thing smacked of cartesian dualism and was more about putting the ghost back into the machine than anything else.

If his theory is right, then so what? We're going to build quantum computers someday anyhow. I think that Penrose will get backed into a corner arguing for an ineffable something that makes our meat computers special. They are not. They're just meat.
