"If you look at the history of big obstacles in understanding our world, theres usually an intuitive assumption underlying them thats wrong. In the case of the Solar System it was intuitively obvious that the Earth was at the center of the Solar System and things moved around us, but that just turned out to be wrong. … And it intuitively seems correct that the brain is just some sort of computer—it just seems natural. … But it has undermined almost all of our work to build intelligent machines and understand thinking. Its just wrong … the brain isnt like a computer at all."
