Thinking About Consciousness in the Meat Only a Blogpost not a Paper 8 min read The Quantum Connection I was getting pulled into the fascinating intersection of quantum mechanics and consciousness again, (it happens from time to time) and I realised, I can't articulate this stuff verbally to anyone. That's why I started typing it. It was Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff's proposal in their Orchestrated Objective Reduction ( Orch-OR ) theory that hounded me. They say consciousness emerges from quantum processes in microtubules—the structural frames inside our brain cells. It's quite heavy. Anyhow, those guys say consciousness occurs when probability waves (superposition: in every state it can be in at the same time) collapse after reaching the threshold inside our microtubules. This is what sparks moments of consciousness. Fair enough. Think of living things as quantum collapse interfaces, microtubules like a radio receiver—breaking down bigger waves so we can appreciat...

An Amateur Cartoonist... 

Welcome to my little corner of the internet written in Kidderminster, England. Here, I obsess over all sorts of characters who transform — literally and figuratively — across myths, stories, and pop culture. Think of this as my brain dump with a sense of humor attached.

Love watching Bruce Banner Hulk-out or Bruce Wayne don his bat ears? Me too! I'm fascinated by these character journeys and what they say about us mere mortals when we're not busy making our own true life stories. 

I don't just geek out over modern superheroes though. I dig into everything from shapeshifting trickster gods to the many faces of the historical Jesus (spoiler alert: way more interesting than the guy in the stained glass windows).

At CompellingCharacters.co.uk, I genuinely believe these archetypal figures speak to something in our human experience. As a kid, I jumped around in a cape pretending to fly —now I just read the comics and write about it instead. My hope is that something here clicks with you, makes you think, or at least gives you a chuckle.

Thanks for stopping by!
