My comments from yesterday's thread in /r/Neuropsychology:

While I understand the frustration with the whole Kurzweil camp, this article reads like it was written by an angry high schooler. It also throws the baby out with the bathwater, in that there are clearly valuable analogies to be drawn from computing, as others have mentioned in this thread. My two biggest disagreements:

- "Your brain does not process information": This statement is too broad. How do I do mental math?

- "Memory is not encoded in neurons [as evidenced by a crude drawing of a dollar bill]": Where then does the crude drawing come from?
