I have to admit, arguments over free will never interested me all that much, because if we don't have free will it's something of a moot point. Might as well "choose" to have it.
What I am interested though is the potential involvement of quantum effects in consciousness. I'm not particularly sold on any of the existing theories, but at the same time, I'd honestly be kind of surprised if consciousness didn't involve some sort of quantum effect, now that we know they can be exploited by living things--photosynthesis, and possibly smell, though the latter seems rather controversial. It may just be bad reasoning associating two notoriously difficult problems, though.
