It astounds me how some of the things we've implemented in computer technology have shown to be true with us as well, this is exactly how a hard drive works, if you wipe it's memory, unless you do a full clean, it just removes the lookup table for all the data, you can still retrieve the data unless it's overwritten by something else.

I genuinely think the gap to bridge between bio-organic computers/augmentations is not as wide as we once thought

This example alone is not the only reason, there are other breakthroughs that have made me think this, but this one is also very interesting

Nah, we just live in a Matrix like simulation. The reason our brains operate similarly to computers is because they are computers.

Depending on your definition they are just biological computers
