Rodger Penrose wasn't right. He was indulging in a piece of feckless 
speculation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Hossenfelder

dropped out of physics to peddle "popular science" twaddle. She doesn't 
seem to know much about what actually happens inside the brain, which 
does involve complicated biochemistry which she doesn't seem to have 
been exposed to. Like Rodger Penrose, she has heard the buzz-words, but 
doesn't know enough to make sense of them.
