Consciousness Computability Debate Flares on X Over Penrose's View
fkasummer · x · 2026-10-31
X user fkasummer quote-posted @relizarov's claim that Penrose is wrong about consciousness: it is not only computable but inevitably emerges in any sufficiently complex system optimized to manage its own resources. fkasummer fired back that "the universe is not a computer and consciousness isn't computable," criticizing the habit of treating theories like evolution and computability as justifying any claim.
