Inventor of Micrprocessor Denies Computationalism

Have you read the book, David ? If so, what is his take on NDE's ?

I can't be sure yet, because some of his ideas are to be found in appendices. He certainly mentions then in a positive way. However, he seems to take the existence of a larger reality as almost axiomatic, and focuses on connecting this to QM.

This notion seems to be very counterfactual due to the extensive evidence afforded by the mediumistic communication and NDE data, where in NDEs, say, the NDEer experiences direct telepathic communication with deceased loved ones, in some sort of a supernal spiritual realm of existence. And the medium experiences direct telepathic communication with the disembodied spirit. Not some sort of coded data transmission and receiving along the lines of radio or video data transmission.  

I think that regardless of his extensive credentials and brilliance, Faggin seeems to have blinders on when it comes to the boatload of paranormal data, typical of most relatively mainstream scientists.

Where have you found he is resisting paranormal phenomena? I'd say the absolute opposite. SILICON is so cheap if you have a Kindle, I'd suggest you read what he has to say - I may be paraphrasing it awkwardly.

I wrote:

His concept seems to be that mind works in Hilbert space and that has to be collapsed down to text (say) to be transmitted to another person because the no-cloning theorem prevents the copying of the entire quantum state. I think he means this quite literally.

This refers to everyday life - e.g. describing an idea at a conference or in a book - not to ESP/medium communications.

You're in luck, he wrote a book about his version of Idealism - Irreducible: Consciousness, Life, Computers, and Human Nature

Federico Faggin is an engineer and physicist who invented the world's first commercial micro processor, the Intel 4004. He is also the founder of the Federico and Elvia Faggin Foundation which is dedicated to the scientific study of consciousness.
