    > quantum idiocy like Penrose in his senility. 

FWIW, Penrose first posited the idea of QM having some role in consciousness about 30 years ago. I don't remember much about his argument but it seemed plausible and not easily dismissed. BTW Penrose was also a guest on the Rogan experience.

Whatever the case, we are still very very very far from understanding the brain when it comes to consciousness. There's room for people to explore possibilities.
