I'd suggest the wonderful book and question:
What do you care what other people think?
This is needed to get a salary and funding, making possible to pursue
the research. It is also needed to make higher the probability that
someone refute your work so that you can learn something.
As explain on the everything-list, Colin makes a confusion of level,
and also ignores that computationalism entails that locally observable
physics is not Turing emulable. This is confirmed by physics, for you
cannot simulate locally a quantum random bit in a third person way.
If you simulate the observer and duplicate it iteratively, this will
only simulate the random bit in a first person way.
Colin, have you heard about the Human Brain Project?
