Sounds like they really don't want their lives to be deterministic. I'm skeptical of anyone who jumps to quantum mechanics to explain consciousness. Would love to know what research you are referencing.

This is the youtube video I watched. Here's a link to the recent paper.

Thanks! Very interesting. Looks like we have some quantum activity going on after all. Though, there is a large chasm between observing activity and proving its necessity for our consciousness.
