🇺🇦 ZELENSKYY'S MESSAGE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has delivered a direct and deeply serious message to Americans: If the United States officially sides with Russia, Ukraine will not be able to win this war. We will not be able to withstand it.
Zelenskyy expressed hope that Donald Trump would stand with Ukraine or, at the very least, maintain a neutral position rather than support the aggressor.
He also addressed the continuing restrictions on Starlink, stressing that the system's full functionality has still not been restored.
Zelenskyy said he hoped Trump would reconsider his decisions, which he described as mistakes that would benefit neither Ukraine nor the United States.
One of his most alarming statements concerned American intelligence. According to Zelenskyy, only the United States possesses the intelligence capabilities Ukraine needs to detect Russian ballistic missile launches in time. For three days, Ukraine did not receive that information.
These are not abstract diplomatic disagreements. They concern the ability to protect Ukrainian cities, intercept incoming missiles, and save civilian lives.
Ukraine is not asking America to fight its war. Ukraine is asking America not to help Russia win it.
The choice facing Washington is not simply between supporting Ukraine and remaining neutral. It is also about whether the United States will continue standing for the principles of sovereignty, freedom, and resistance to aggression.
Ukraine has been fighting for its survival. It must not be abandoned to the country trying to destroy it.
🇺🇦 STAND WITH UKRAINE.

Each tubulin has 86 aromatic amino acid rings with pi conjugation up the wazoo. These can extend tubulin to tubulin along helical pathways suitable for topological quantum error correction. Photosynthesis quantum coherence lasts femtoseconds (10^-12 secs) and microtubule quantum states at least 10^-8 secs. That’s 4 orders of magnitude longer, and potentially mesoscopic and macroscopic lengths along microtubules. We call that the quantum underground. The binding is weak but the number of collective weakly interacting oscillations is enormous.
Replying to @StuartHameroff
You still need a materials basis for strong quantum coherence in the brain. We only see quantum coherence in photosynthesis, but it’s v weak microtubules don’t even have close to that level of pi-conjugation. A materials basis would make the case more compelling

The hard problem is accounted for by Penrose Objective Reduction, Nobel laureate Sir Roger Penrose’s proposed solution to the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. Here’s our 1996 paper in the Hard Problem special issue of J Consc Studies edited by Dave Chalmers philpapers.org/rec/HAMCEA Superposition leading to OR threshold is portrayed as separated curvatures in spacetime geometry. When they collapse at time t and select a particular curvature/reality a now moment in time, an experience occurs nonalgorithmically. OR hasn’t yet been tested but the quantum states in microtubules necessary to orchestrate OR events (Orch) have been demonstrated at warm temperatures and are inhibited by anesthesia. researchgate.net/publication…
Orch OR has more explanatory power, biological connection and experimental evidence than all other theories combined. Selective specific action of anesthesia by dampening quantum states in microtubules correlates with clinical potency. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2885…

Turns out that formulating a theory of consciousness (hard problem, “why are there qualia”) without at least one crazy-sounding implication is pretty hard. They’re fun to list though:
- Consciousness is just an illusion
- There’s an immaterial soul that pushes atoms around in your brain
- Your thoughts/decisions do not drive your actions, even if you think they do
- Electrons are conscious
- Only particular carbon processes can be conscious
- A properly wired network of walkie talkies among the citizens of China could be conscious
For this reason I don’t think that mocking someone’s views of consciousness without offering one’s own is respectable.
(I do think the scientific questions regarding consciousness are mostly orthogonal to the hard problem)

Checkmate? You’re playing checkers not chess. The water in the hollow core of microtubules is completely ordered and radiates gigahertz and terahertz. The water on microtubule exteriors interact with C termini water in kilohertz. Would those oscillations occur in water without a microtubule there? Is ocean water oscillating in terahertz?
But the aromatics inside each tubulin in hydrophobic water-excluding regions oscillate at 613 terahertz.

You still do not get it Stu. MT can do nothing without water. Your instantaneous model collpases on the latency needed by the brain. Checkmate. threadreaderapp.com/thread/2…
