>Dualists reject physicalism and often incorrectly assume that computationalism presumes physicalism. Ironically, however, computationalism would also be the best theory of how the mind works if dualism was true.
I'm not a dualist, but I think dualists wouldn't believe in computationalism. Computationalism relies on emergence: mind supervenes on computation, but emergence is basically physicalism, dualists would think emergence is impossible due to eliminativism and you would need mind irreducible to computation, thus anticomputationalism.
