Have you noticed that when we make something clever, like an internal combustion engine, say, or a supercomputer, we will then turn around and say that the human person is 'like' that very clever thing?
So, our 'mind' is nothing of the sort - supposedly it's like software that orders and runs hardware. Our bodies are 'like' the machines we make with such ease.
No one seems curious about this kind of analogy.
