Each to their own. And I certainly would never argue that dualism is correct.

But then again there are people who think that believing in software is dualism and that only hardware exists.

Uh, no. Even hinting that mind = software, brain = hardware (not even sure I agree w that anw) and they get upset.

oh dear. I don't think they're equivalent, only that it was a useful metaphor once upon a time. nothing to get upset about.

What was a metaphor? That the brain performs computations? It does.

that's actually different from saying the brain is a computer. That's the metaphor I think is inaccurate.

Yeah, we disagree. When you say computer are you aware that a computer doesn't mean only a von Neumann machine tho?

I don't want to convince you either way but to me 100% the brain is a computer by definition of a computer.

A computer is literally defined by the functions a brain carries out. Turing defined it that way based on the WW2 computers who were women.

I respect that we disagree but perhaps we might just disagree on what "computer" means. Either way, I respect your opinion.
