I'm a bit surprised to see this but it sounds like the founding guard might be starting to give up and look for a different way forward. Also interesting that Curt got the interview - it's a great show and its geared toward the physics, mathematics, and philosophy communities.

The Emperor's New Mind: Concerning Computers, Minds and The Laws of Physics is a 1989 book by the mathematical physicist Roger Penrose.
Penrose argues that human consciousness is non-algorithmic, and thus is not capable of being modeled by a conventional Turing machine, which includes a digital computer. Penrose hypothesizes that quantum mechanics plays an essential role in the understanding of human consciousness.
