Thank you for the reply. I absolutely agree, but it's not only science communication and journalists that try to see it in a philosophical way.

Roger Penrose for example (as far as i can tell a highly respected physicist) is arguing that the collapse of the wave function happens inside the brain and enables our consiciousness.

Who am I to criticise that? I think we should be open to anything in science. On the other hand when one tries to do philosophy, one should also understand the field. For an outsider it looks like people try to flatter themselves with their superior mathematical skills.
