At least Penrose himself has an excuse for this: he's actually intellectually honest and came to this from a mathematics first purely theoretical perspective - he might have been deluded by others' trashy science, but he didn't go on to delude others.

It's funny that while it's great to also keep this perspective open as an interesting theoretical avenue, and Penrose is worth appreciating as a very original thinker... all the "evidence" for quantum consciousness theories is probably pure junk sci =)

In which case go read fiction. There's plenty of it. Stop polluting the space with gibberish. A joke article with 50000 citations is no longer a joke.

What fiction? QNTM did a great job and it's all available for free. qntm.org

Yeah I'm a third into Penrose's book right now but I don't buy the argument. However I can see where he's coming from and he presents everything objectively, opinions are clearly highlighted as such.
