Which is a nonsense. Nobody use the hypothesis that the brain is a machine in their
everyday life.
If tomorrow comp is refuted, you will not feel a difference. Just that both matter and
mind will be more mysterious.
In fact most people are unreflective dualists. They assume they have a magic soul so that
if their brain were replaced by a computer 'they' would become a philosophical zombie
while their 'real self' would be teletransported to heaven (or Platonia if they happen to
be mathematicians :-) ).
