"brains are computers. brains are not computers. two sides stuck in an eternal war due to universality. no one dares to ask the proper question: which brains"

Is this a reference to the simulation theory or the "brain in a vat"?

it's a reference to some discussions online i've seen about brains being computers or not.

So, given that the brain is similar to an AI neural network, do you think it's plausible that a brain could be a biological computer? A machine made out of cells and neurons rather than chips and wires?

all i can tell you is that my brain, and those of the people i love, are not machines at all. in any way. but i have no trouble believing some are. perhaps even less than.
