It heavily depends on whether you actually view consciousness as a natural phenomenon. Applying the same logic to other phenomena is on its face absurd – computing liquids means computers can be liquids, computing lightning means computation alone can give you a tesla coil etc

The sheer gall to "explain" (strawman) other people's positions when you have barely critically assessed your own assumptions and their actual coherence with the traditions and practices you claim to draw inspiration and authority from
IMO, any kind of theory of consciousness fundamentally incompatible with computers (of any kind) is either disconnected from physical reality (therefore irrelevant) or is equivalent to asserting paranormal abilities.
