You're going to have to do a lot more to justify the leap from Godel's Incompleteness and the Halting Problem to "digital is limited, analog is not", because neither of those things have anything to do with digital processes at all, and in fact both came about before we'd *invented* digital computers.
To me this comment sounds like when popsci gets ahold of a few sciency words and suddenly decides everything is crystal vibrations universal harmonics string theory quantum tunneling aligning resonance with those around you.

The situation is the following. 1. Brains are analog computers, which are digitally irreducible. 2. There are stringent limitations on Turing machines (digital computers), 3. We can’t extract semantics from syntax, and so… We’ll probably need analog computation, currently in its infancy, to get artificial (inorganic) consciousness. I study metaethics and philosophy of mathematics. These problems are real, and I am being honest with you.
