Bohm: “Niels Bohr had called attention to an analogy between thought and QM. In QM whenever you observe something you change it in an unpredictable and uncontrollable way. You can’t analyze it.
"Now, if you try to look at your thought process, it changes, too; that is, if you try to define your thought, it becomes unclear as to where it’s going, and if it’s going somewhere, with a kind of momentum, then you can’t define it.
"This was very similar to the behavior in quantum theory. So, I thought there might be some connection between consciousness and physics there.”
