Consciousness has been called the "hard problem" by David Chalmers for a reason. It resists empirical analysis as it is a highly subjective experience. The theory that consciousness is produced, created by the brain is but an assumption based on a purely materialist view of reality. In this module, dive into the core mystery of consciousness, explore various alternative narratives and especially, the implications of what it would mean if consciousness is not produced by the brain.

Quantum computing is all the buzz nowadays, and is presented as this revolutionary technology which will solve many human problems from climate change, through advanced climate modelling, to discovering new chemicals or drugs. But no one raises the most profound questions linked to quantum computing. Most scientists never consider what quantum mechanics tells us about reality. They adopt an attitude that David Mermin described as: "shut up and calculate": or simply applying the formulas, but not questioning the nature of reality and humans as observers in it, and their role in "collapsing" probabilities via their act of observation. In this regard, quantum technologies could be the ultimate observer, collapsing not only present events but also future ones. Quantum computing predictions would then turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.
