> As quantum mechanics demonstrates, observing changes the thing being observed.

Appealing to pop-quantum mechanics is an almost 100% accurate indicator that whatever you're pitching is hocus-pocus BS.

This statement is also wrong. Taking a measurement corresponding to some operator appears to put the system into an eigenstate of that operator. It may or may not change the state of the system. It's also many orders of magnitude too small to be relevant to considerations of bulk systems like the human brain and body.

Lots of systems are self-interacting but we don't feel the need to try to use hand-wavy pseudoscience analogies. Consider https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z86V_ICUCD4
