So it is sometimes hard to browse through a popular bookshop without encountering the kind of volume that takes UFO’s, the Bermuda Triangle, the Egyptian pyramids, or whatever is of interest to the author, and seeks to pull all the selected areas of ignorance together so as to allow one grand theory that will account for everything.  This may be called a ‘conflation of ignorances’.  In science, we do not properly understand quantum events; nor do we understand much about human consciousness.  According to this style of approach, therefore, let us elegantly connect the two areas, and thereby reduce two area of ignorance to one!  Now there may be a connection between quantum effects and consciousness, or there may not be.  But we should be very wary of assuming that a connection exists just because we understand neither.
