I suppose there's nothing like argument-free abuse to feel you've wrapped up a subject and feel a wee bit superior to it all especially when the proponents are persons of undisputed attainment in their respective fields.

You may or may not be aware that the study of consciousness attracts an amazing number of quacks and loonies. Penrose may be a good physicist, but that has very little to do with his credibility on neuroscience. If you want to read smart things about consciousness, look to people who study actual brains; Mike Gazzaniga was one of the better ones, at least 10 years ago. EDIT: also Patricia Churchland, who comes at it as a philosopher, but takes the time to learn the neurology.
