@tyrell_turing@fediscience.org P.S. Church and Turing would have very probably hated your interpretation of their theory of computation. Both, to the end of their lives, insisted that computation is about a certain kind of (human) activity, not about the brain or the world.

    @tyrell_turing@fediscience.org P.P.S. If you don't understand what I mean by organizational vs. information-processing aspects of the brain, think about Weizenbaum's distinction between calculation (that's what computation captures) and judgment (that's what it does not, and was never intended to).
