it does sound quite out there, i agree. and i personally think that it's too early to conclude that algorithms with neutral nets won't get us there, we simply don't have enough computing power to conclude that yet. Penrose has always been a Maverick and as he admits himself he's not even close to an explanation himself. his only lead comes from the fact that anesthetic gases seem to have some kind of effect on the microtubules and i guess that in itself could have a totally different explanation than Quantum magic. i mean the micrtubules could be important but for different reasons.
