@1:20 you are therefore stating "an agent's personal beliefs" could "derive from pure quantum states". This is one dopey mix-up of concepts. Pure quantum states relate to a theory of physics. Sure, "people" came up with QM and this theory informs our beliefs, but the physical reality we perceive is not the source of our beliefs. Our beliefs are a category of mental qualia, and physics has absolutely no clue where those qualia come from. They are not brain states. They are something else, and it is not physics. So they cannot derive from quantum mechanics (which is physics). Unless you are prepared to do violence to the definition of the word "physics", but then you are causing a mess of mixing of domains of scientific modelling, which is unhealthy in my view (especially for clean physics pedagogy --- and I am by no means an establishment guy, I do however value good pedagogy in learning, even if the student has to find it for themselves).
Can't get my head around this idea.. wow
