Why, Mr. Anderson? Why, why? Why do you do it? Why, why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting... for something? For more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although... only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?

Let's say the halting point and a few other points which uniquely identify the control flow of a program are known in advance.
Is there a computer architecture which would be able to execute such a program faster than a normal computer?
Is neural computation the only way?
If so, why aren't we using brains with an electronic interface for computation, and write software on them which can be executed much faster?

Why bother with computers when brain tissue is the best computing device to ever exist?
