From the article:

Dennett models the mind on the idea of the computer. But computers are the products of human designers. Hence it makes no sense to try to explain the mind in terms of computers, since the existence of a computer itself presupposes the existence of a designing mind.

I read no further.

It wasn't worth pushing through. The other arguments are equally as incoherent until it gets to the hard problem of consciousness, which seems to a problem for the author to explain concisely.
I had trouble earlier, but in the end that was also my stopping point.
