have experience of physical computers, and not of non-physical
computers. (Whatever you say to the contrary,

All I am asking for is a demonstration of the contradiction that you all
claim exists between computationalism and physicalism -- a contradiction
that does not simply depend on a definition of computationalism that
explicitly states "physicalism is false". In other words, where is the
contradiction? A demonstration that does not just beg the question.
