Brains are hierarchical backpropagating neural networks! No, they're Bayesian networks! No, they're Goedelian pattern recognizers! No, the mind is an algorithm which optimizes for utility! No, it maximizes for reproductive fitness! No, it maximizes for perceptual control! No, it maximizes for status in the tribe!

So, you're saying all these explanations are Turing-complete?
