If mind was random, people would miscalculate 1+1 with 50% probability. So earth might be flat, but it's unlikely.
That does not follow at all.
Miscalculation doesn't follow from randomness?
If you run an LLM (with temp >0) and use a true random generator for seeds, it will still tell you 1+1 is 2.
You mean mind is deterministic and cancels all noise? Then what quantum physics would do there?
You don't need to cancel all the noise to solve 1+1 correctly. The model in the example is non-deterministic.
I don't know Penrose's view deeply enough to defend it further (view which I for the record do not share).
He's just rambling.
Where did the 50% came from?!
Many phenomenon emerge from randomness with very high probability just because the law of large number.
It's statistics that emerges with very high probability due to the law of large numbers. If you calculate 1+1=2 with 100% probability, then quantum physics doesn't meaningfully participate in your reasoning, not more than brownian motion.
