Penrose’s excursion into logic and philosophy by way of Gödel is nearly universally rejected in my experience and according to the standard reference work: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/#Gd...

I would disagree on one hand as mechanisms can and shall inevitably outperform human thought capacity at some scale.

And agree on another, the human mind is an efficient quantum computer (I know …) which uses constructive and destructive interference for some holographic rendering rather than a composition of linear conditional logic.

Do not let the confines of human ignorance set the horizon for Truth!

Allow that science is only a tool for undeceiving ourselves. Universal rejection sounds like dogma, not science.
