Thank you, @mattsheffield@mastodon.social, for hosting my Cyborg essay (with slightly more explicit title) on your excellent #Flux community platform:
https://plus.flux.community/p/the-myth-of-mind-uploading
The content remains the same: computationalism is a deluded myth. We won't replace our neurons with machines, we won't upload our brains, and we won't beam ourselves up to the Enterprise in orbit any time soon, because of the way our brains and bodies are organized (and computers are not).

New essay out::

taking apart the substitution argument for computational functionalism by Moravec and Chalmers.
Biological naturalism, based on living organization, FTW!
