The question is whether there was ever a good reason to suggest that mind is computational, and I think philosophy (i.e. Searle) have shown that there wasn’t. A brain CAN compute (albeit very slowly), but that’s the end of the similarities.
The reason it’s not morally wrong, say, to recycle an old computer is that computers are not at all like human minds.
