Imagine being someone who thinks humans are like premium computers. Living in a short-sightedness equivalent to a Paleolithic mind. Thinking that the mind can only regurgitate information and datasets that absorb our brains, when humans have literally invented all the abstractions, art, language, infinity and God.

The belief that humans are merely lines of code, held by many including those in the field of technology, is a troubling indication of the current state of our world. It reflects the fact that individuals with barbaric and psychopathic tendencies are in control of important domains such as technology, finances, and politics.

The dicotomy ‘hardware (body) vs software (mind)’ is rooted in the ‘body vs soul’ paradigm of the old times. It is a binary way of thinking, a superstition that obscures many things.

A computational process, in the intended sense, transforms a stream of input information through a sequence of causally linked physical states to produce a stream of output information. First formulated by von Neumann in 1945, it is the basis of all modern computing.

However, a complex system is more than the sum of its parts. Its overall behaviour results from the interactions between its parts. And in most cases, the parts cannot be isolated from the rest of the universe (as is the case with all living things).

People who think that consciousness and the human mind can be imitated and surpassed by a computer speak volumes about their real knowledge in many fields of science, or simply have a dark agenda of eugenics.

You are not computable, you are an irreplaceable being through which the universe becomes conscious in a unique way.
