I am well aware of Penrose, and have read _The emperor's new
mind_. For a good explanation of why I don't buy his ideas,
please see http://ase.tufts.edu/cogstud/papers/penrose.htm,
especciall the part that starts at the 13th paragraph (the
one that starts with "The argument Penrose unfolds...").
Have you read Marvin Minsky’s _The Society of Mind_?
