Quantum consciousness?
Consciousness as an emergent property from classical computations would not allow for free will and would also make it possible to copy the consciousness or uploading it into a powerful enough computer. Stuart Hameroff usually mentions that the single cell paramecium in fact can do a lot of things(learning, mating, etc), in his theory the computations occurs in the microtubules.
One quantum theory of consciousness is “orch of” 65 66 it was developed by Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff.
Roger Pensore has suggested that the collapse of the wave function(quantum mechanics) occurs by itself after a time depending on how large the separation in space-time is. There is many issues with the “orch or” theory but other theories are also problematic.
"orch or" builds on the "penrose interpretation" of quantum mechanics which hasn't been confirmed yet experimentally, there are also a lot of other assumptions that need to be experimentally verified before we can be confident "orch or" in particular is true.
Quantum information cannot be copied or destroyed, only transferred, thus you cannot copy or destroy a quantum soul, it can only be transferred.
When we understand consciousness we will also understand reincarnation(if possible) and also understand ourselves better. Maybe the lemmings is people where true consciousness failed to develop, i have never been a lemming so i do not know. In any case i doubt this hard problem will ever be solved in our current corrupt society, even if someone comes up with the solution the other people will be too stupid to see it as the solution(same with other fields in science).
Currently a lot of people are afraid of death, i am personally more concerned about our race and that i might not get necessary things done before i am dead. Only weak men is afraid of the unknown and requires an imaginary heaven of something.
Interestingly Roger Penrose's interpretention of quantum mechanics implies pantheism since the self collapse of the wavefunction would happen everywhere.
Generally the problem with orch or is that it might not be possible to have to quantum computations of that scale at that temperature, Hameroff mentioned that a spin have properties required to work on large scale. Even if quantum computations on large scale(brain) isn't possible in normal temperatures it does not mean that quantum computations doesn't happen in the brain.
Recent advancement in AI has shown that artificial (classical) neural network can outperform all humans on earth at specific tasks, we may not actually need quantum computations for general intelligence either.

Quantum entanglement is a very strange quantum mechanical effect where the measurement of one particle affects the state of the entangled particle directly(faster than the speed of light), which would allow quantum cognition is the brain.
