A computer is a very interesting and unique device. The way it operates depends entirely on the software installed on it. The computer has no understanding of reality and can interact with it only in the ways you allow β by connecting it to networks, sensors, or other mechanisms. By itself, it has no clue about anything.
You can install very strange kinds of software on a computer. You can create virtual worlds inside its βmindβ, and the computer will treat these virtual realities as real, because it cannot distinguish between actual reality and simulated ones. Whoever programs the computer determines its behavior and its fate.
The same is true for the human mind.
