Seems like maybe not the only instance of self-aggrandizement in this blog... the sidebar shows posts about things like the quantum mechanics of consciousness other such quackery.

Wow. One of the links is titled "Clarifying the Hierarchy of Information-Derived Gravitational Tensors in Consciousness Field Theory". The References section has 4 entries, all written by the author of this blog.
Actually - on that particular topic - you might want to read the articles and the math before forming an opinion - start from information geometry and fisher information metrics of information processing - which is what that particular line of thought is all about...Everything on that particular line of exploration is built up from fisher information where "consciousness" is defined as a high complexity information processing geometry and so its measurable. Because its defined as a measurable physical process, not as a magical quality, it's a mathematical argument. But of course that would require reading, and sufficient knowledge to understand it.
