Plus (and that is the argument in my upcoming paper): organisms use their brains to deal with a large world, in which most problems are not formally defined (hence not computable), Before you can solve a problem using computation, you need to formalize it. This is called relevance realization. This process cannot itself be formalized. This is why how we come to know the world is fundamentally different from how algorithms solve problems.

@tyrell_turing@fediscience.org Basically, the category mistake you make (it's called the equivalence fallacy) is that you mistake the map for the territory, your model for the real world. That's what computationalism is. Since the 1980s (no earlier) we've slid into the deluded opinion (esp. in the fields of cognitive neuroscience & AI) that the world is a computer. It's a dangerous view, that leads people like Bengio & many others to take on really foolish views about AGI.
