Stuart Hameroff's ideas.

I think the complete jump is too big for people to make in one go. For all I know, the Earth may have been covered by "primordial soup" (better referred to as primordial sludge) but that clearly wasn't part of the history of life! I would love to get to see what did happen at life's inception. I imagine the whole process might have happened rather quickly - the translation of an abstract mental blueprint into something concrete.

Perhaps after death it will be possible to will oneself to that point in spacetime, which should be fun!

Hameroff is primarily interested in consciousness and its origin, and there he does seem to have come round to a non-materialist viewpoint.

Materialism, in philosophy, the view that all facts (including facts about the human mind and will and the course of human history) are causally dependent upon physical processes, or even reducible to them.

Doesn't this definition of materialism apply to Hameroff's beliefs?
