Was Roger Penrose not completely insane when he proposed his Orch OR theory of the mind? Still doesn’t explain the hard problem of consciousness, but a step closer?

    Heck yeah, big Sir Roger Penrose fan and although this might not be definitive proof I’m looking forward to more research into the matter

      Also big fan, but I was always convinced his Orch OR stuff was completely batshit. I would love to be proven wrong.
