What leads you to believe the human mind is not a complex computer?
Computers of are current time have a level of complexity no human device has
EVER achieved before, and they are just a granule of what the human mind is.
Or rather, the brain. THe brain is undoubetedly a complex computer, but the
mind is a non-tangible thing. Just as this VAX 8600 I am using now is a complex
(supercomputers and the like aside) computer, but the programs I am using to
send this message have absolutely no physical substance.
I'd say there is a heck of a lot of similarity.
