When someone utters the phrase, "The brain is of course just a computer"

This tells you two things:

1. This person doesn't actually know that much about the brain/body/consciousness/etc.

2. You might also want to be suspicious about this person's thoughts on how computers work, too

@researchfairy I've read that throughout history, people have always compared the brain to whatever technology was most complicated at that time. Like, plumbing used to be a common analogy. This seems to mean we don't understand brains very well.
@joshsusser @researchfairy ah, a series of tubes!
