The thing is that he IS right. And the people doing the research like he is, all agree on it. The neo cortex is an awesome patternmatching machine. That is not even being disputed. That's why artificial neural networks are so useful for patternmatching.

You would be right. I read an article on how when we wake up, we are actually running some form of program that boots the brain.
Look at this...

She talks about the sequential part and the massively parallel part.
The brain is such an interesting topic!
