What I really admire about Rupert is that he never spirals too far into woo-woo land. I suppose he was a good friend to Terence McKenna in that regard. He solidly anchors his models in testable hypotheses, then writes books about them. Flip a coin with "science" on one side and "the supernatural" on the other, and my bet is he wins either way.
Rupert get's away with it because he adds spirituality and serenity, his wife sounds like something special or I don't know where he gets all the feminine energy from.
The problem for me going down the quantum route is you end up in no time, what happens in-between the time synapses fire? There is an eternity in every moment...too weird. It has to be limited at a useful point or you just end up staring at the abyss in horror.
