[asa] Quantum quackery

I am following a discussion on another list. It's in the off-topic section of a forum that has nothing to do with science or faith. OK it's a dog forum! Anyway one of the regular posters is in the habit of infusing discussions with New Age b.s. The latest is that, because of the Copenhagen interpretation of QM, all matter is concious. I don't even know where to start. After a little net research I figure she may have picked up that belief from some popular books or movies. I am not getting involved with the discussion; I would be fighting against a deeply entrenched world view. But it has opend up a whole new fascinating realm of intellectual garbage that I didn't know was out there. Anybody on the list have any dealings with QM - Quantum Mysticism that is.
