I agree that people who think we can replicate brains on von Neumann machines with our current understanding of the brain are idiots who don't know what they're talking about, but humans build things they don't understand all the time. There's always a way to go deeper on a subject. The Romans were pretty good architects even without a modern understanding of metallurgy and structural engineering. We can treat mental illness with medications even if we don't fully understand consciousness.
