You’re deflecting from the poverty of your explanation of the universe’s origins and how you think Penrose solved the problem when he did no such thing.You’re lazily trying the old bait-and-switch—pretending that acknowledging someone’s legitimate contributions to one domain commits me to uncritical acceptance of everything they’ve ever said. That’s not how serious thinking works. I can value Penrose’s insights into the structure of spacetime or consciousness without swallowing his Conformal Cyclic Cosmology whole. Intellectual integrity demands discernment, not blind devotion.Your claim that it’s “hilarious” for me to critique Penrose only betrays a shallow understanding of how real scholarship works. Great thinkers—Gödel, Penrose, Plantinga—are not immune to error, and citing them appropriately is not “appeal to authority” but recognition of where their insights are solid and where they lapse into speculative fantasy. The fact that you see critique as contradiction tells me more about your dogmatism than mine.I’m not judging the man—I’m judging a theory. If you think Penrose’s CCC is beyond critique, then it’s you, not I, who has succumbed to the fallacy of authority.</blockquote>
