Universal Common Designer theory [UPDATED and REVISED]

@Meerkat_SK5

’ In his “orchestrated objective reduction” theory (a.k.a. Orch-OR), Penrose posits that consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules throughout neurons in the brain. In this view, individual consciousness is connected to a universal proto-consciousness . This theory may resonate with the classical Buddhist view, that consciousness is the “ground” or primordial nature of the universe.’

1. These words are those of Tony Stultz, not Penrose’s own.

2. It is not clear how this claim that “individual consciousness is connected to a universal proto-consciousness” derives from Penrose positing “that consciousness derives from quantum vibrations in microtubules throughout neurons in the brain.”

3. It is also not clear whether this “universal proto-consciousness” relates to your " self-existent consciousness".

4. There is no indication whatsoever that either Stultz or Penrose viewed this “universal proto-consciousness” as a ‘creator’, let alone that either claimed that it “created finite conscious minds”.

Therefore, your claim of:

@Meerkat_SK5

… Penrose’s interpretation of a self-existent consciousness that created finite conscious minds …

Still lacks any foundation.

The best that you can claim from this piece is that Stultz interpreted Penrose’s work as there being a universal proto-consciousness to which individual consciousnesses are connected.

And we now have further examples of @Meerkat_SK5 citing sources that do not support their claims.
