And the point of my various comments is that what he
has actualy shown is that IF computationalism is true
AND ontologicial Platonism is true AND if the HP prolbem
can be solved AND the appearance-of-time problem can be
solved AND if there is nothing more to consciousness
than cognition AND occam's razor still applies in
Paltonia THEN materialism is an unnecessary hypothesis.

Bruno-computationalism is standard computationalism+platonism.
Since I reject platomnism, I reject Bruno-computationalism
(whilst having rather less problem with the standard computational
thesis, that "cognition is computation").
