I am beginning to be of the sentiment that human brains are usually functionally approximated by pushdown automatons, while our emotional life better approximates hypercomputation. The commonly assumed view that minds are Turing machines no longer fits me. The argument against consciousness, for survival-machines seems strong. To find an ecological niché for consciousness requires more creativity than survival ever would... and so an evolution of consciousness may have happened in program space instead of hot and wet mechanistic nature.
