Abstract
In his 1972 book What Computers Still Can't Do Hubert Dreyfus points out capacities of the mind computers fail to match such as a sense of relevance and common sense. What computers can do is spread the computational load over time and operate with great speed. The human brain distributes the computational load over space, over billions of neurons operating at the same time, but not synchronously. Human brains are staggeringly complex structures.
