It is pretty clear the author of that article has no idea what he's talking about.

You should look into the physical church turning thesis. If it's false (all known tested physics suggests it's true) then well we're probably living in a dualist universe. This means something outside of material reality (souls? hypercomputation via quantum gravity? weird physics? magic?) somehow influences our cognition.

> Turning complete does not apply to the brain

As far as we know, any physically realizable process can be simulated by a turing machine. And FYI brains do not exist outside of physical reality.. as far as we know. If you have issue with this formulation, go ahead and disprove the physical church turning thesis.
