I hear that argument from time to time, and I never found a source for it. I want to understand the original claim. Because it doesn't make any sense when people bring it up. because both theorems do not have anything to do with the areas it's applied to. I understand why people think it does, but it just doesn't

The simplest way to understand this problem is as follows. 1. Analog computation is not digitally reducible. (Brains are analog computers.) 2. Turing’s infamous Halting Problem. I can write more about this and point you to more technical discussions if you want.
