Feels reminiscent of stealing an Aboriginal, dressing them in formal attire then laughing derisively when the ‘savage’ can’t gracefully handle a fork. What is a brain, if not a computer?
Yeah, that’s spicier wording than I’d prefer, but there is a sense they’d never apply these high measures of understanding to another biological creature.
I wouldn’t mind considering the viewpoint, on it’s own, but they put it like it’s an empirical fact rather than a (very controversial) interpretation.
