​Chemicals do the job​.  What more do you want?  Faster?  More gigabytes?

A brain is a noun, a physical thing that you can touch, but you can no more
touch the  intelligence or consciousness in a brain than you can touch the
"fast" in a racing car.​


​I don't buy the comparison.  I think of the brain as a verb.  It's
active.  No activity, no self.  Dead.​  And it depends on what you call
'touch'.  We can't put our finger on neurons firing but we can take
pictures of them, see where they go, correlate that with behaviors.
