Hmm, indeed ...

... Rod Dreher - Macro quantum entanglement. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

What’s most interesting to me about quantum theory? The philosophical idea that consciousness is involved at some mysterious (that is, observed but not understood) level with determining outcomes in the material world — that is, that there is no bright, clean barrier between objectivity and subjectivity.

I am increasingly inclined to think that searching for a material explanation of consciousness gets the problem backward. We should be trying to figure out instead how consciousness explains matter.
