Recently I've watched some riveting vids where conciousness is explored from a scientific perspective. Please have a look and comment. The Penrose video is long, but amazingly planned and executed, regardless of the guys disposistion...
Stuart Hameroff: Link removed (solid in scientific approach)
Amit Goswami: Link removed (out there, but captivating)
Penrose: Link removed quantum ( a masterpiece of real world facts melded with of the chart postulations)

Mind, I’m not expecting anyone to read the papers and explain them to me, but if one of you educated people already have an opinion I’d like to hear it. If not please ignore me. EDIT: I strongly suspect it’s bunk but...
