Though I agree that this quantum brain idea is against all evidence, I don’t think the evolutionary criticism applies. Not every adaptation has a direct effect on inclusive genetic fitness; some are just side effects of other adaptations.
Sure, but the empirical difficulty of maintaining quantum coherent state would imply that it isn’t the kind of thing that would happen by accident.
