Seems like this would be a law against propoganda.... which is a great idea, isn't it?

We have libel and anti-defamation laws. How is this any different?

Domestic propaganda would not be covered by this law.

With no foreign ideas for competition, each country would intensify its efforts to brainwash its own citizens in whatever way it sees fit. (see: 1984)

Comment: Hameroff/Penrose model of quantum consciousness (Score 3, Interesting) 129

This finding seems to give support to the Orch-OR (orchestrated objective reduction) theory of quantum consciousness proposed by Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose. One of the main objections to the theory is that quantum coherence could not be sustained in the warm biological environment for sufficient duration. If quantum entaglement is a normal feature of photosynthesis, it's less of a stretch to believe that quantum coherence could be one of the mechanisms to give rise to consciousness in higher lifeforms.
