Yes, thank you. So many people here are missing the point. The debate isn't whether or not minds are simply too special to be modeled by a computer. The debate is whether or not the mind itself is a computational system

I mean, consider the solar system. Can the solar system be modeled by a computer? Yes of course. Is the solar system a computational system? Is it organized on computational principles? Of course not. These questions are not the same thing, and yet conversation about the latter always seems to get drowned out by people saying "How could you possibly deny the former!"
