From computer engineer Bernardo Kastrup at Scientific American:
It turns out, however, that some predictions of QM are incompatible with non-contextuality even for a large and important class of non-local theories. Experimental results reported in 2007 and 2010 have confirmed these predictions. To reconcile these results with the current paradigm would require a profoundly counterintuitive redefinition of what we call “objectivity.” And since contemporary culture has come to associate objectivity with reality itself, the science press felt compelled to report on this by pronouncing, “Quantum physics says goodbye to reality.”
The tension between the anomalies and the current paradigm can only be tolerated by ignoring the anomalies. This has been possible so far because the anomalies are only observed in laboratories. Yet we know that they are there, for their existence has been confirmed beyond reasonable doubt. Therefore, when we believe that we see objects and events outside and independent of mind, we are wrong in at least some essential sense. A new paradigm is needed to accommodate and make sense of the anomalies; one wherein mind itself is understood to be the essence—cognitively but also physically—of what we perceive when we look at the world around ourselves. More.
This doesn’t sound like the same universe as that of perceptronium, the supposed material essence of consciousness.
One of Kastrup’s books is Why Materialism Is Baloney.
Of course materialism is baloney but we don’t usually see this kind of thing in Scientific American.

Or perhaps a return to the ‘old paradigm’. The “old Christian paradigm” that gave us modern science in the first place?
Basic scientific method: Inexplicable results mean that your theory is wrong. If you persist with a delusional theory like quantum quackery or carbon cultism, you will continue to get results that the delusional theory doesn’t explain.
We do need a paradigm change. Delete ALL theories. Just observe reality. Work to solve real problems that will help real people live better.
For anybody that wants to ‘get into the weeds’ of “occasionalist idealism”, I recommend Dr. Gordon’d video and article on the subject:
Ironically, Berkeley University itself is named after this 18th-century Anglo-Irish bishop and philosopher
Does not QM confirm that each of us lives in a world of his/her own, created, integrated and coordinated presumably by that super-inteligence ?
Not a rhetorical question. Is that confirmation by QM correct or not ? Would anyone care to comment.?
