To me, if you view quantum mechanics from a consciousness-first perspective you can see that space is not about distance and time is not about the past and future and that the wave function collapses due to the action of conscious agency - a choice among the possibilities.
Note: Because consciousness is viewed here as fundamental, conscious agency does not have to be “human” consciousness, but can be.
What I appreciate about the consciousness-first view is that it treats awareness as a primary feature of existence rather than a byproduct of matter. Whether or not that ultimately proves true, it opens some compelling philosophical questions about agency, perception, and the relationship between possibility and actuality.
At the very least, it reminds us that we still know far less about consciousness than we often assume. :)

Well explained for the laymen. #understood
