For literal decades the only thing that ruled it out was the ability for quantum entanglement in the brain. Less than 2 years ago we proved not only was that possible, but quantum super position could be sustained for as long as we’re awake.
It’s a pretty safe time to be confident, even without accounting for Penrose being the literal smartest person on the planet.
Like, I’m not big on “appeals to authority” but if Sir Roger Penrose spends 37 years saying something is true, and just continually gets proven more right over the decades…
It’s not as far reaching as you seem to believe.
Like, gravity is just a theory too, shit is harder than people realize it is to prove.

Thanks, that’s an interesting read. Still stand by my opinion that your statement is overly confident in explaining consciousness.

Penrose published a book on it in 1989.

Literally glazing the guy sloppy style and basing their whole world view on a single random dude. Sorry, on ‘the smartest guy in the planert’.
Ah I see the problem. I opened a thread with the word ‘quantum’ on it. Lmao
