Part 2/9:
The Argument: "You Are a Quantum Computer"
Riddle boldly asserts that human beings can be viewed as quantum computers. He emphasizes the significance of quantum mechanics—specifically measurement, superposition, and coherence—in understanding both cognition and consciousness. Significant advancements in quantum technology are on the horizon, yet accessibility remains limited, mirroring the initial stages of digital computer development.
Though quantum computers are still predominantly in the realm of research and development, Riddle notes their potential evolutionary embrace in the future. He likens their eventual integration into society to the rise of the internet and digital computers, hinting that we may soon witness a paradigm shift in computational capability.
