Is it as Francis Cricks "Astonishing Hypothesis" suggests - a phenomena completely explainable as the result of complex neuronal interactions, or is it a quantum mechanical phenomena ? Perhaps its a self-referential computer program runni …

I'd like to start something similar to Fight Club but without the violence.
