[Physicist]

I have reached page 416 of Penrose's Emperor's New Mind and nowhere, nowhere, does he take the position or imply that "consciousness is material".

Reread post 3986. As I said, that came from Shadows of the Mind, page 12 (and subsequent).

I didn't miss your reference. Shadows of the Mind is on the way and I will be reading that as well. Based upon 416 pages of Emperor and counting, however, whatever Penrose may otherwise be, he is not a Materialist and, I repeat, he does not state or suggest that consciousness is material.
