Humans as Universal Turing Machines
- David Deutsch
- The human brain is a Universal Turing Machine, meaning that it can model any physical process in the universe, including the processes happening inside other brains
- This means every human brain is categorically equivalent to every possible brain, differing only in access to processing power and storage space
-
Processing power and storage space are precisely what human beings have been augmenting since the beginning of history, starting with numbers and writing
