On: The cortex is a neural network of neural networks

Amazing how many people miss this. It’s like confusing the implication with the equivalence.

What I was trying to communicate was that the Turing machine believed to represent the limits of what is physically possible. So then you have

turing machines >= brain (since a brain is physical) and brain >= turing machine (by simulation argument)

The conclusion is the brain and Turing machine can do the same thing (brain = turing machine).

Another religious tenet with no observable basis.

Where did so many hackers get this misconception that computable and physically possible are proven to be the same? Many claim the Church-Turing thesis shows this. Have they never read it carefully?
