My Question is This: 

If you can't google it, does it even really exist?

Hmmm, maybe it exists 

..but it can't be found by the google algorithm.  Spooky. 

Reading on in Penrose's book, it looks like the view I'm clumsily taking here--that you basically need flawed computers for consciousness--is the one that Alan Turing (father of computer science, blah blah blah) adopted.  I guess  that's reassuring, even if Penrose is trying at length now to disagree with exactly that.
