Unitary mind, computational benefits of binding, mind-ontology connections and, yes, quantum consciousness. I'm aware that saying "quantum consciousness" triggers some people... but no, I'm not a Deepak Chopra advocate. There are, it turns out, good philosophical reasons to justify a quantum consciousness view of the mind. People, and LessWrong specially, pattern-match anything in this space to, well, Oprah and the Secret.
Do you happen to know what "good philosophical reasons" he is referring to?

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.
