Well, since computers are reverse engineered biological brains created by human beings, wouldn't that make sense?
​
That's not really... I mean, computers are a lot less like "reverse-engineered brains" and a lot more like "mathematics made physical."
​
The first computer scientists were mathematicians, not biologists.

Lanza Tries to Stifle Critics; Discovers Streisand Effect
It seems that Robert Lanza, the author of Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe, has been trying to silence some of his harsher critics.

Uh-oh. Seed Media has received some demands from Robert Lanza, MD, Scientist, Theoretician, Genius, Renegade Thinker. He wants us to take down a few posts by Orac and myself. I guess he doesn't like being compared to Grandpa Simpson, or seeing disagreement with his ideas about the afterlife, or being exposed as a quantum woo-meister.
​
Gosh, what will I do?
​
Seed has a very clearcut policy on our posts, and there is going to be no attempt to censor any of them. Gee. So I'm not going to edit them.
​
I'd hate to think that anyone might link to this post, or to these presumably objectional posts #1, #2, or #3. That might increase the likelihood that Google will return those links in searches for Robert Lanza. Whatever you do, don't link to any of these posts about Robert Lanza on Scienceblogs!
​
I agree. Repeatedly linking to these posts would be childish and would have the exact opposite of Dr Lanza's intentions. Imagine how tragically ironic it would be if Dr Lanza's attempts at stifling criticism were to result in mockery of him being spread far and wide across the intertubes.
