The reports of humanitys imminent demise at the hands of sentient killer robots have been greatly exaggerated.

It’s free, every week, in your inbox.

And that makes us very, very important.

A quantum physics lullaby to ward off your killer robot nightmares

If your brain has almost countless interrelated systems, then the entire universe must have virtually infinite ones.

And if thats where consciousness accumulates, then the universe must have a lot of phi.

At least under its current paradigm.

But this doesnt really fit in with our experience of reality or the theory of universal consciousness.

We appear to be quantum creatures.

Our brains can surface thoughts based on a theoretically near-infinite number of parameters.

And the amount of compute it would take in a binary system to imitate this could be unfathomable.

Ever made up a silly rhyme to help you memorize something for a test?

This is evidence of the vast interconnected quantum neural connection operating inside your skull.

This indicates were probably operating as nonalgorithmic-consciousnesses.

So, the the bad news is that youre unlikely to have a truly-alive robot pal anytime soon.
