The summarized premise is that the analogy between the human brain and a computer is one that we use without adequate acknowledgement of its shortcomings and this concept has likely hindered our progress in understanding our own brains rather than helped it.
Just yesterday I heard someone in a group of people say "Yeah they're working on downloading your brain into a computer" and someone else immediately agreed "Yeah they will do that in no time" I chimed in and said "well they can download your shopping behavior surely but thats about it" because that is pretty much all the brain science we have today - the stuff Facebook collects that pairs certain interaction data with the financial data which allows for better predictive models than ever before.
But it's no where near putting an adequate facsimile of any humans brain into a computer.
