I have a reply to most of the points you’ve brought up which I hope will help you see another perspective. Some things I hadn’t even thought of until you wrote this (thanks). But I don’t have time to write them all now, nor do I want to type it all out at my phone. Leaving this comment as a reminder.

No this guy actually understands what he’s talking about. He may not be articulating it the best, but his argument is not false. What he’s essentially saying is that based on what we understand now, the brain must be a machine in some sense that can do computations.

The only reason this is the case is because logically unless new physics arises this must be the case. So it’s not the brain is a computer like we have now, it’s that all things that process and handle information systematically must do computation. What that looks like and what each unit does it what we don’t get.

Honestly my guy, you are not terrible person. I get where you’re at though, humans are social creatures and we do everything in power to make social reality actual reality. But you gotta remember that actual reality is the thing that actually exists not the social reality. We made that one up. And in the real reality the one that matters, you just exist nothing more nothing less. There is no wrong or right just existence.

I hope you can find people who are not living in the fake social reality and at least try to live in real reality. They will be your people. I found some of mine, I believe you will find yours.
