  I guess you could say that but brains are orders of magnitude more complex than any computer. Saying that they’re “simply” organic computers is a huge understatement.

    A TI-82, an Apple II, and a 48 core rack Server are all simply computers. It isn’t insulting the rack server to declare that both it and an Apple II are both simply computers.

      No. The human brain is not 1 and O. It is “analog” meaning the state can be any number between 1 and 0 because neurons and fired biochemically and linked to each other in multiple connections. This means the human brain or any animal brain can carry, process and store more info than any computer yet invented for the given size and mass. Non-biologists don’t know how complex biological sytems are. Go and google about the rotor-stator system of bacterial flagellum. That’s right, some bacteria have an electrical motor to propel themselves, long before humans invented the electric motor.

        Neurons are very much binary. They receive enough simulation to fire or they don’t. They don’t fire with variable strengths.

        Brains are literally just biologically grown electrochemical computers.

    Anybody who believes that out brains are simple organic computers seriously needs to try acid.

      Complex but still organic computers. What else would they be? Soul vessels?
