What Is an Observer?
I'm more optimistic, my guess is that information, that it's all just information and that both intelligence and consciousness are simply in certain kinds of information processing. We know that some information can be processed very intelligently without there seemingly being any consciousness there. And maybe you can also have some conscious experiences that are without there being very much intelligence there. So if you're not going to define what an observer is or talk about that or try to make a physical model of it, no wonder we're stuck unifying these theories. Cheers to a happy Juneteenth!
