If your beliefs are consistent with a computable mind, then what stops you from also investigating the uncomputable mind? If true, then your beliefs are broadened, and if false nothing is threatened.

Ah, I don't mean to reject the possibility that minds are uncomputable. Perhaps they are!

It does seem likely that ideal minds would be (for reasons like those you describe).

I just think I should require a rather strong argument to conclude that they are, instead of remaining non-commital.
