I think it's interesting to say the very least. Comments?

It's not science, it's philosophy.

Ok, real quickly, this theory doesn't predict anything, only tries to fit an unsupported idea to what we have observed thus far. It's also just another, horribly complex, reitieration of the idea that reality is perceived and not actually "real".
Then you have evidence relying on psychotropic drugs like LSD. Explain why a "holographic" chemical would cause a "holographic" brain to react differently when neither really exist (at least according to the theory)? Or why, if we are really all one conciousness, do we have individual conciousness, and why does it is centeralized in this brain, which is really conveinently positioned and evolved in a place quite adequately explained by the classical understanding of physics and our world.

The point being, there are too many questions, too many complex implications and requirements (I won't even begin to go into the question "how is this hologram projected, how does it exist?") and not enough evidence to be taken seriously.

Well, do come back with it, Dr. Strangelove.

I live for junk science. Crystallinks, you know? ;P

It's an addiction.
