The whole microtubules hypothesis is based on flimsy reasoning. Correct me if I've gotten any of this terribly wrong:
The premise of Gödel's incompleteness theorems applying to his own brain hurt Penrose's feelings, so he decided there must be a way around that. Quantum woo was such a way, a least he believes, so he decided that must be what's going on. Later, microtubules were determined to be the most plausible quantum woo found in brains so far. The reason microtubules being a keystone of consciousness is considered in the first place is because people are fishing for quantum stuff to protect their egos from the implications of brains being having classical computation equivalence.
