This is really hardly worth debunking, but here are a few fast thoughts…
It really is sad when someone gets an advanced degree in X, and a little public acclaim, and then thinks they have meaningful contributions to make on Y. Successful actors believe they know a thing or three about politics. And unfortunately, famous medical professionals believe they have something to say about quantum chromodynamics and string theory. They generally don’t. You can trust me on this.
The observation selection effect and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle have absolutely nothing to do with each other. The tree falling example is absurd, especially as the nature of microscopic quantum effects rarely have macroscopic manifestation.
The lack of a mechanism for the origin of life via random action and natural selection is not a proof that it did not happen.
The Fermi “Paradox” is only a paradox if one makes certain statistical assumptions, which may in fact be false.
Biocentrism is merely solipsism repackaged, and no more worthwhile than the original.
5. You will listen to me. Only to me. Sounds like Mohammad.
The uncertainty principle does not apply to consciousness, only to “measurement.” Trouble starts when non-scientists incorrectly interpret this as meaning that a conscious being must to the measuring. For the Uncertainty Principle, “measurement” does not require a being to do the measuring, it happens as a natural matter of course. Surrounding events do the “measuring.”
