    "abstract": "This article was written in response to a request from an editor of American\nVedantist. It is shown that the idea that consciousness is essential to\nunderstanding quantum mechanics arises from logical fallacies. This may be\nwelcome news to those who share the author\u0027s annoyance at consciousness being\ndragged into discussions of physics, but beware: The same fallacies may\nunderlie the reader\u0027s own way of making sense of quantum mechanics. The article\nends up embracing a Vedantic world view, for two reasons. For one, such a world\nview seems to the author to be the most sensible alternative to a materialistic\none. For another, quantum mechanics is inconsistent with a materialistic world\nview but makes perfect sense within a Vedantic framework of thought.",
